- C.
0.7 to 1.05 μmol/L
- D.
1.05 to 1.45 μmol/L
Correct Answer
C. 0.7 to 1.05 μmol/LExplanation
The plasma retinol value of 0.7 to 1.05 μmol/L is considered to be marginal.
Values more than 1.05 μmol/L are considered to be adequate for children.
Values between 0.35 to 0.7 μmol/L are considered to be deficient.
If the value is less than 0.35 μmol/L, it is considered to be very deficient.Rate this question:

Abetalipoproteinemia is a progressive ataxic neuropathy with retinitis pigmentosa and steatorrhoea.
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is a hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy. It is characterised by weakness of extremities and hammer toe.
Dejerine Sottas disease is also a hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy. It is associated with distal weakness and ataxia.
Werdnig Hoffman disease is spinal muscular atrophy type 1. It presents within first 6 months of life. It presents with generalised symmetrical weakness, more in proximal muscle groups with hypotonia.Rate this question:

Which of the following is an X linked disease?
- A.
Friedreich’s ataxia
- B.
Fabry’s disease
- C.
Osteogenesis imperfecta
- D.
Cystic fibrosis
Correct Answer
B. Fabry’s diseaseExplanation
Fabry's disease is an X-linked disease because it is caused by a mutation on the X chromosome. This means that the disease primarily affects males, who have one X chromosome, while females can be carriers of the disease but are usually not as severely affected. The other diseases listed (Friedreich's ataxia, Osteogenesis imperfecta, and Cystic fibrosis) are not X-linked diseases and can affect both males and females equally.Rate this question:

Least common cause of ambiguous genitalia in females?
- A.
21 hydroxylase deficiency
- B.
11 hydroxylase deficiency
- C.
WNT4 gene mutation
- D.
Foetal placental steroid sulfatase deficiency
Correct Answer
D. Foetal placental steroid sulfatase deficiencyExplanation
Foetal placental steroid sulfatase deficiency is a rare X-linked condition, and is seen only in males.
It is not a cause for development of ambiguous genitalia in females.
The most common cause of ambiguous genitalia in females is Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH).
It is responsible for about 70% of cases.
21 hydroxylase deficiency and 11 hydroxylase deficiency are subtypes of CAH.
Other causes include WNT4 mutation and foetal placental aromatase deficiency.Rate this question:

Differentiating an ASD from a VSD using a chest X-ray is by detection of?
- A.
Enlargement of pulmonary artery
- B.
Enlarged left atrium
- C.
Dilated aorta
- D.
Pulmonary plethora
Correct Answer
B. Enlarged left atriumExplanation
An enlarged left atrium can be detected on a chest X-ray and can help differentiate between an atrial septal defect (ASD) and a ventricular septal defect (VSD). In an ASD, blood flows from the left atrium to the right atrium, causing the left atrium to enlarge. In a VSD, blood flows from the left ventricle to the right ventricle, which does not directly affect the size of the left atrium. Therefore, the presence of an enlarged left atrium on a chest X-ray suggests an ASD rather than a VSD.Rate this question:

Earliest sign of pathological gastroesophageal reflux in infants is?
- A.
Upper GI bleeding
- B.
Respiratory symptoms
- C.
Oesophageal stricture
- D.
Postprandial regurgitation
Correct Answer
B. Respiratory symptomsExplanation
The earliest sign of pathological gastroesophageal reflux in infants is respiratory symptoms. This can include coughing, wheezing, difficulty breathing, and recurrent respiratory infections. These symptoms occur because the stomach acid and contents reflux into the esophagus and can be aspirated into the lungs, causing irritation and inflammation. Upper GI bleeding, esophageal stricture, and postprandial regurgitation may occur as complications of long-standing gastroesophageal reflux, but they are not typically the earliest signs.Rate this question:

- C.
Non Cirrhotic Portal Fibrosis (NCPF)
- D.
Malaria with disseminated intravascular coagulation
Correct Answer
A. Extrahepatic Portal Venous Obstruction (EHPVO)Explanation
Hematemesis, melena and splenomegaly are suggestive of a diagnosis of portal hypertension
The first three options can cause portal hypertension
But considering the age and sex of the child, Extrahepatic Portal Venous Obstruction (EHPVO) is the most probable diagnosis
Non Cirrhotic Portal Fibrosis (NCPF) is usually seen in adult females in the third or fourth decade
Cirrhosis is not very common in children, and it is usually accompanied by jaundice / ascitesRate this question:
