Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option B: Destruction of body immune system
Concept:

Opportunistic infections are secondary diseases that strike because the host's primary immune defenses have been compromised.

Solution:

  • Destruction of body immune system is the direct, primary physiological effect of the HIV virus itself, not an "opportunistic disease."
  • It is the cause of the susceptibility, not the secondary infection.


Why other options are incorrect:

  • Tuberculosis, Pneumonia, Toxoplasmosis: These are classic opportunistic infections that heavily afflict AIDS patients due to their destroyed immune systems.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
