Solution

The correct option is B

Malaria


The correct answer is Option B

Explanation of correct option:

  1. For the treatment of malaria, artemisinin (ARS) and its derivatives (ARS's) are suggested as first-line antimalarial medicines.
  2. Apart from their antimalarial activities, their significant anti-inflammatory, and immunoregulatory characteristics, as well as their capacity to control oxidative stress, have propelled them to prominence.

Explanation of incorrect option:

Option A:

Polio: No drug can kill the poliovirus once an infection has begun. Hence, vaccination is the only way to prevent the disease.

Option C:

Diarrhea: Dehydration can be avoided by replacing lost fluids with an oral rehydration solution (ORS). Antidiarrhea medications like loperamide may also be beneficial.

Option D:

Common cold: Home remedies can relieve the symptoms of the disease.

Final answer: Arteether is the latest drug for Malaria.
