From the following pairs, find the one which is correctly matched.
- ATuberculosis-ATS
- BTetanus-BCG
- CMalaria-Chloroquine
- DScurvy-Thiamine
- ENone of the above/More than one of the above
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (c) Malaria-Chloroquine
Explanation
Malaria is caused by Plasmodium and treated with the antimalarial drug Chloroquine, the correctly matched pair.
Tuberculosis is prevented by the BCG vaccine, while ATS is the antitoxin for Tetanus – so the first two pairs are swapped.
Scurvy is caused by deficiency of vitamin C, not Thiamine (vitamin B1).
