Question

The following pairs represent diseases with their respective diagnostic tests.

Choose the pair that is correctly matched.

Options

• Diphtheria - Widal test

• AIDS - MRI

• Syphilis - Wassermann test

• Hepatitis B - CT

Answer 1

Syphilis - Wassermann test

Explanation:

• Syphilis and the Wassermann test make a good matching pair.
• One of the most well-known sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), syphilis can harm the bones, liver, kidneys, and other organs of the body. The VDRL (Venereal Disease Research Laboratory test), FTA-ABS, and Wasserman tests can be used to detect the disease earlier.
• The ICS test, a proven and quick technique of diagnosis for diphtheria, can be used to connect other erroneous pairs.
• ELISA is used to diagnose AIDS, and a Western blot is then used to confirm the diagnosis.
• A quick blood test and a physical examination can both identify hepatitis B.
