QUESTION

Langhan’s giant cell is observed in?

OPTIONS

(A) Brucellosis
(B) Leptospirosis
(C) Tuberculosis
(D) Listeriosis

ANSWER

(C) Tuberculosis

EXPLANATION

Langhans giant cells are multinucleated macrophages with nuclei arranged characteristically at the periphery and are a classic feature of granulomatous inflammation in tuberculosis. Brucellosis and leptospirosis do not classically produce Langhans giant cells, and listeriosis is more characteristically associated with microabscesses and suppurative inflammation. Therefore, option C is correct.
