Sample G6PD Deficiency and Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemias MCQs with answers
Sample MCQ #1
Direct Coomb's test positive is seen in all; except:

Sample MCQ #2
What does the red cell distribution width (RDW) deal with?
AHypochromia
BAnisocytosis
CPoikilocytosis
DAnisochromia
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: B. Anisocytosis
Red Cell Distribution Width The RDW is an index of the variation in cell size and volume within the red cell population. Normal Value RDW-SD 39-46 fL, RDW-CV 11.6-14.6% in adult Condition with Increased RDW Iron deficiency anemia Folate/vit B12 deficiency anemia Reference: Wintrobe textbook, pg 1432
Sample MCQ #3
A 30-year-old woman came with complaints of easy fatigability, exertion dyspnea and weight loss. She also complaints of frequent fall. Physical Examination revealed there was bilateral decrease in vibration sense. Her hemoglobin levels were 8.2 gm%. She was treated with folate. Her anemia improved but neurological symptoms worsened. Which of the following is the most probable reason for her condition?(Recent Question 2020)
AFolate not absorbed
BUnmasked pyridoxine deficiency
CDeficiency of folate reductase in CNS
DFolate therapy caused rapid use of B12 stores aggravating symptoms
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: D. Folate therapy caused rapid use of B12 stores aggravating symptoms
Vitamin B12 Major role in providing cofactors that are required to form myelin. Required for the production of methionine (precursor for S-adenosyl methionine), which is required for methylation reaction. Myelin maintenance and nerve function. Demyelination occurs from vitamin B12 deficiency. Neurological problems occur in most people who are deficient in vitamin B12. Folic acid can usually correct the anemia. Thus it could mask the underlying disease, and allow the development or progression of neurological deterioration, if diagnosis depended on the presence of anaemic symptoms.
