Question

Choose the correct statements:

Panting is the sequelae of food and mouth disease
Hydrophobia is a characteristic of Rabies
Penicillin act against Peptydoglycan
Zebra marking in the intestines is the pathognomonic lesion of Rinderpest

• A. A, B and D only
• B. A, B and C only
• C. A, B, C and D
• D. B, C and D only

Hint:

Pathognomonic lesions are "smoking gun" signs for a specific disease. The zebra markings of Rinderpest are a classic example taught in veterinary pathology.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Let's analyze the statements:

A is False. "Panting" is a term sometimes used for the heart condition in FMD survivors, but the characteristic sequela is lameness, not panting.
B is True. Hydrophobia, or fear of water, is a classic clinical sign of Rabies in humans, caused by painful spasms of the throat muscles when trying to swallow.
C is True. Penicillin and other beta-lactam antibiotics work by inhibiting the formation of peptidoglycan cross-links in the bacterial cell wall, leading to cell lysis.
D is True. The presence of "zebra markings" (streaks of congestion and hemorrhage) in the rectum and large intestine is a pathognomonic (specifically characteristic) post-mortem finding for Rinderpest.
Therefore, statements B, C, and D are correct.
