QUESTION
Swollen superficial lymph nodes are seen in?
OPTIONS
(A) Babesiosis
(B) Trypanosomiasis
(C) Theilariasis
(D) Anaplasmosis
ANSWER
(C) Theilariasis
EXPLANATION
Theileriosis commonly produces enlargement of superficial lymph nodes because Theileria schizonts multiply in lymphoid cells and stimulate marked lymphoproliferation. Babesiosis and anaplasmosis primarily produce hemolytic disease without the characteristic generalized lymph-node enlargement, while trypanosomiasis has a different pattern.
