By inhaling aerosols released by an infected person causes the spread of which disease certainly?
1. Malaria
2. Pneumonia
3. Plague
4. Filariasis
Out of the following diseases which are caused due to bacterial infection?
a. Typhoid
b. Elephantiasis
c. Cholera
d. Tuberculosis
1. a & b only
2. b & c only
3. a, c & d only
4. a, b, c & d
Each of the following statements concerning pneumonia are correct, except
1. It is caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae and Hemophilus influenzae
2. Pneumonia bacteria grow better at 33°C than at 37°C, hence they tend to cause the disease in upper respiratory tract rather than the lower respiratory tract
3. Bacteria infects alveoli of lungs
4. In pneumonia finger nails turn bluish in colour
Infection with Hemophilus influenza, especially in children, can cause:
1. Diptheria
2. SARS
3. Pneumonia
4. Dysentery
Infection of alveoli of lungs by Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae leads to alveoli becoming fluid-filled and leads to severe problems in respiration is an example of
1. A bacterial disease
2. A viral disease
3. A fungal disease
4. A helminth disease
The means of spread of which two infectious diseases is common?
1. Malaria and Filariasis
2. Pneumonia and the common cold
3. Typhoid and Ringworms
4. Pneumonia and Malaria
Common cold differs from pneumonia in, that:
1. | Pneumonia is a communicable disease, whereas common cold is a nutritional deficiency disease |
2. | Pneumonia can be prevented by a live attenuated bacterial vaccine, whereas the common cold has no effective vaccine |
3. | Common cold is caused by a virus, while Pneumonia is caused by a bacterium. |
4. | Pneumonia pathogen infects alveoli whereas common cold affects the nose and the respiratory passage but not the lungs |
