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

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Recall 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 is linked with pneumonia-like illnesses → II.
Step 2: Match correctly.
A → III, B → I, C → IV, D → II.
Step 3: Verify.
Option (C) is correct.
Step 4: Conclusion.
Correct matches: A - III, B - I, C - IV, D - II.
