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.
