Explanation / Answer

9. Rheumatic heart disease is caused by streptococcus not staphylococcus. Hence, option b is mis matched.

10. The usual source of infectious microbes causing otitis media is normal microbiota of throat. Hence, option e is correct.

41. HIV can be transmitted through sexually as well as congenital. Hence, option b is correct.

45. Pnuemocystidis pneumonia is not found in the lungs of healthy patients. Hence, incorrect statement is d.

46. Incorrect statement about pseudomembranous colitis is it not occur in healthy patients. Incorrect statement is d.

50. Neisserua meningitis is not caused by exotoxin. Hence, incorrect statement is e.

48 . Mad cow disease is caused by prions not bacteria. Hence, incorrect statement is d.
