QUESTION

Sulfonamide induced Kerato-conjunctivitis Sicca occur mostly in?

OPTIONS

(A) Dogs
(B) Cattle
(C) Horses
(D) All of the above

ANSWER

(A) Dogs

EXPLANATION

Sulfonamide-associated keratoconjunctivitis sicca is reported most commonly in dogs, probably because of an idiosyncratic immune-mediated effect on the lacrimal glands. Cattle and horses are not the species classically associated with this adverse effect, so all of the above is incorrect.
