This document contains 20 multiple choice questions about various epidemiological topics such as pandemics, biological criteria for pandemic viruses, possible bioterrorism agents, risk factors for tuberculosis, definitions of prevalence and latency, viral infections like flaviviruses and herpes, vaccines for measles, mumps, rubella, influenza, HPV, nosocomial infections, tuberculosis testing, hepatitis viruses, mosquito-borne illnesses, influenza treatment, time for influenza vaccines to take effect, and sources of hepatitis C infection. The questions cover a wide range of diseases and epidemiological concepts.

1. Biological Criteria for a Pandemic Influenza Virus:
new surface antigen new core antigen (central) both of them 2. Possible Bioterrorism Agent: Yersinia pestis (plague) Variola (small pox) Both and others 3. Individuals at high risk for TB are : HIV infected, immunosupressed therapy with a TNF-α antagonist all of these 4. Examples of latent infectious are: HIV, HPV, CMV Syphilis These, named,and others, as VZV 5. Prevalence is: 3. Nnumber of cases of disease occurring within a population at any one given point in time number of new cases of disease occuring over a specified period of time none 6. Flavivirus infection can manifest as: Yellow fever Viral Hepatitis type C Both 7. Prevention of herpes genitalis: Barrier methods, such as condoms HSV vaccines None of these 8. Live, attenuated vaccines: measles, rubella, mumps cannot be used by: immunocompromised individuals pregnant women none of them 9. Influenza virus vaccine (Afluria, Fluarix), intranasal (FluMist) are indicated for active immunization to prevent: influenza A Viruses influenza B Viruses both of them 10. HPV types 6 and 11infection usually results in the formation of condylomata; these types have: Low oncogenic potential High-risk oncogenic potential No relevance to oncogenic potential risk 11. Some Important Diseases with a Soil Reservoir are: Tetanus Rabies Viral encephalitis 12. HIV infected pacients with advanced immunologic decline have a lot of oral lesions; Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is incriminated in ethiopathogeny of: Aphthous ulcers Oral hairy leukoplakia Pharyngitis 13. At what CD4 count should specific prophylaxes for Toxoplasmosis be initiated? CD4 count of fewer than 100 cells/μL CD4 count of fewer than 50 cells/μL CD4 count has no importance(indifferent) 14. Nosocomial infections are infections that are a result of treatment in a hospital or a healthcare service unit if: first appear 48 hours or more after hospital first appear 2 hours after hospital entrance No related 15. Tuberculin skin testing (Mantoux test) is the most widely available test for diagnosing tuberculous infection in the absence of active disease (latent infection). in active infection both 16. Hepatitis E virus is the principal cause of enterically transmitted non-A, non-B hepatitis; No treatment or vaccine available YES NO 17. Aedes aegypti (Mosquito) is Vector for: Yellow Fever and Dengue Fever Malaria Human Ebola hemorrhagic fever 18. As with other diseases, prevention of influenza is the most effective strategy; Two newer drugs have been recently marketed for treatment of influenza A and B, Oseltamivir and Zanamivir, specific inhibitors of: Neuraminidase Hemagglutinin both of them 19. Influenza virus vaccine is indicated for active immunization to prevent influenza A and B viruses; the vaccination becomes effective: first 72 hours after administration 10-14 days after administration 30 days after administration 20. Sources of infection for persons with Hepatitis C are: Injecting drug use, needlestick Sexual, Perinatal All of these DATA SIGNITURE
