Question

Consider the following pairs.
A. Tuberculosis - BCG immunization and DOTS strategy.
B. Typhoid - Acute infection of the intestine.
C. Poliovirus - Destroy the cells of spinal cord.
D. Rabies prevention - 14 injections in the stomach by Pasteur vaccine or by human diploid cell vaccine in the thigh or hands.
The correctly paired groups are given in

• A. B and D
• B. A, B and D
• C. A and D
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

The BCG vaccine protects against tuberculosis (TB). DOTS (directly observed treatment, short-course), is the name given to the tuberculosis control strategy recommended by the World Health Organization. Typhoid is an infectious bacterial fever with an eruption of red spots on the chest and abdomen and severe intestinal irritation. Poliovirus is the causative agent of poliomyelitis, paralytic disease occurs when the virus enters the central nervous system (CNS) and replicates in motor neurons within the spinal cord, resulting in the temporary or permanent paralysis. Louis Pasteur invented the original vaccine from infected rabbits, from which the virus in the nerve tissue was weakened by allowing it to dry for five to ten days. The human diploid cell rabies vaccine was started in 1967. It is less expensive purified chicken embryo cell vaccine. Rabies can be prevented by giving 14 injections of this vaccine in the stomach.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
