Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)
(A) Wuchereria bancrofti — this matches (II) Elephantiasis. This filarial worm lives in the lymphatic vessels of the legs, which swell greatly over many years. It is passed on by the bite of the female mosquito.
(B) Rhino Virus — this matches (III) Common Cold. Rhinoviruses infect the nose and the respiratory passage, but not the lungs; the cold passes through droplets from coughs and sneezes.
(C) Haemophilus influenzae — this matches (IV) Pneumonia. This bacterium, like Streptococcus pneumoniae, infects the alveoli, which fill with fluid and make breathing hard.
(D) Epidermophyton — this matches (I) Ringworms. With Microsporum and Trichophyton, this fungus causes dry, scaly patches on the skin, nails and scalp, with intense itching.
