Q1 · Malaria Species
NEET PGMediumExplanation
Plasmodium falciparum causes the most severe malaria, including cerebral malaria and high parasitaemia, because it infects red cells of all ages and causes cytoadherence. Its gametocytes are banana-shaped.
Q2 · Malaria Relapse
HardExplanation
Plasmodium vivax and P. ovale form dormant liver hypnozoites that reactivate to cause relapses. Primaquine is added to clear hypnozoites, after checking G6PD status to avoid haemolysis.
Q3 · Amoebiasis
NEET PGMediumExplanation
Amoebic liver abscess yields reddish-brown 'anchovy sauce' fluid, made of necrotic hepatocytes and blood, and typically affects the right lobe. Treatment is metronidazole followed by a luminal agent to clear cysts.
Q4 · Lymphatic Filariasis
MediumExplanation
Wuchereria bancrofti, transmitted by Culex mosquitoes, causes most lymphatic filariasis and elephantiasis. Nocturnal blood smears show microfilariae, and treatment is diethylcarbamazine.
Q5 · Hydatid Disease
HardExplanation
Echinococcus granulosus causes hydatid disease; humans are accidental intermediate hosts and dogs the definitive host. Cyst rupture risks anaphylaxis, so care is needed during surgery, with albendazole cover.
Q6 · Visceral Leishmaniasis
MediumExplanation
Kala-azar, caused by Leishmania donovani, is transmitted by the sandfly and causes fever, hepatosplenomegaly, pancytopenia and hyperpigmentation. Diagnosis is by splenic or marrow aspirate showing amastigotes, the LD bodies.
Parasitology sits within Microbiology, which carries the same syllabus in both exams. This set runs to 6 questions, each tagged Easy, Medium or Hard, 2 of them at Hard, and 2 drawn from previous-year papers.
Answer first, then read the explanation even on the ones you got right — the reasoning is where Parasitology marks are actually won, and it is what separates a recalled fact from a question you can solve in a new form. Once the Easy set feels comfortable, filter to Hard to find the gaps Microbiology examiners keep returning to.
