Question

Match the LIST-I (Microbial pathogen) with LIST-II (Clinical syndromes): 
\[ \begin{array}{|l|l|} \hline \textbf{LIST I (Microbial pathogen)} & \textbf{LIST II (Clinical syndromes)} \\ \hline A. \ \textbf{Haemophilus aegyptius} & I. \ Upper respiratory tract infection \\ B. \ \textbf{Haemophilus influenzae} & II. \ Pneumonia \\ C. \ \textbf{Haemophilus ducreyi} & III. \ Conjunctivitis \\ D. \ \textbf{Haemophilus haemolyticus} & IV. \ Chancroid (STD) \\ \hline \end{array} \]
Choose the correct answer from the options given below: 
 

• A. A - II, B - III, C - IV, D - I
• B. A - II, B - III, C - I, D - IV
• C. A - III, B - I, C - IV, D - II
• D. A - III, B - II, C - IV, D - I

Hint:

Think: aegyptius = eye infection, influenzae = flu, ducreyi = STD, haemolyticus = pneumonia.

Answer 1

Step 1: Identify Pathogenic Roles.
- Haemophilus aegyptius: Causes acute purulent conjunctivitis (III).
- Haemophilus influenzae: Causes upper respiratory infections and meningitis (I).
- Haemophilus ducreyi: Causes chancroid (STD) (IV).
- Haemophilus haemolyticus: Associated with pneumonia-like illnesses (II).

Step 2: Establish Correspondences.
A corresponds to III, B to I, C to IV, and D to II.

Step 3: Confirm Selection.
Option (C) is the accurate choice.

Step 4: Final Determination.
The accurate pairings are: A - III, B - I, C - IV, D - II.
