Answer 1

●Laryngotracheobronchitis is also termed as Croup.The typical symptoms of it are barking cough, difficulty in breathing ,hoarse or noisy breath,fever,tachypnea,drools ,impaired voice

Abs:False

●In Mantoux test a small quantity of purified protein derivative is injected just below the skin to detect tuberculosis.

●The first choice of drug to treat acute exacerbations of asthma are bronchodilator because this dilates the constricted smooth muscles of bronchial walls and improves oxygenation relieving breathing difficulties

Ans:True

●Secondary bacterial pneumonia is one of the common complication of common cold

Ans:True

●The organs which are affected

• Nose
• Sinus
• Sweat glands
• Liver
• Lungs
• Pancreas causing pancreatic insufficiency
• Reproductive system:blockage of vas deference and cervix

Ans:True

●Asthma can be triggered by hypersensitivity response to allergens

●Respiratory syncytial virus, picornavirus  cancers acute bronchiolitis

●In wheezing the sound 9f expired air is pushed through obstructed bronchioles
