Q1 · Iron Deficiency Anaemia
NEET PGEasyExplanation
Low serum ferritin is the most specific indicator of iron deficiency, the commonest cause of microcytic hypochromic anaemia. Ferritin is normal or high in thalassaemia and in anaemia of chronic disease.
Q2 · Megaloblastic Anaemia
NEET PGEasyExplanation
Hypersegmented neutrophils with more than five lobes, together with macro-ovalocytes, are hallmarks of megaloblastic anaemia from B12 or folate deficiency. B12 deficiency additionally causes neurological signs, namely subacute combined degeneration.
Q3 · Hodgkin Lymphoma
NEET PGEasyExplanation
The Reed-Sternberg cell, CD15 and CD30 positive, is pathognomonic of classical Hodgkin lymphoma. Its classic form has two mirror-image nuclei giving an owl-eye appearance.
Q4 · Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia
NEET PGMediumExplanation
Chronic myeloid leukaemia is defined by t(9;22) producing BCR-ABL, a constitutively active tyrosine kinase. This is the target of imatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
Q5 · Auer Rods
NEET PGMediumExplanation
Auer rods are crystallised azurophilic granules containing myeloperoxidase, seen in acute myeloid leukaemia and especially in acute promyelocytic leukaemia with t(15;17). They are not seen in lymphoid leukaemias.
Q6 · Burkitt Lymphoma
HardExplanation
Burkitt lymphoma shows a starry-sky pattern of tingible-body macrophages amid rapidly dividing cells, and t(8;14) juxtaposing c-MYC with the immunoglobulin heavy-chain locus. It is one of the fastest-growing human tumours.
Q7 · Hereditary Spherocytosis
MediumExplanation
Hereditary spherocytosis results from red-cell membrane protein defects in spectrin or ankyrin, producing spherocytes with increased osmotic fragility, splenomegaly and jaundice. Splenectomy is curative for the anaemia.
Q8 · Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation
HardExplanation
DIC consumes platelets and clotting factors, giving low fibrinogen, prolonged PT and aPTT and thrombocytopenia, while fibrinolysis raises D-dimer. It is a secondary process driven by sepsis, obstetric complications or malignancy.
Haematology sits within Pathology, which carries the same syllabus in both exams. This set runs to 8 questions, each tagged Easy, Medium or Hard, 2 of them at Hard, and 5 drawn from previous-year papers.
Answer first, then read the explanation even on the ones you got right — the reasoning is where Haematology 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 Pathology examiners keep returning to.
FAQ
Yes. Every question and explanation in this Haematology set is free and open — no login, no form and no payment. The explanation appears the moment you answer.
Haematology sits within Pathology, which appears in the same form in both syllabuses. General and systemic pathology, from cell injury and inflammation to the tumour markers and classic morphologies that appear as image and stem questions.
