KROK 1 2021 – Question 133 · KROK (Medicine) · Pathophysiology
To study inflammations, a test animal was injected with a lethal dose of tetanus toxin into the cavity of a turpentine-induced abscess. However, the test animal did not die. What is the most likely cause of such test result?
- A. Formation of a barrier around inflammation
- B. Increased vascularization of the inflammation site
- C. Activation of detoxification function of phagocytes
- D. Activation of antibody synthesis during inflammation
- E. Stimulation of leukopoiesis during inflammation
Hint
Think about what happens at the margin of a purulent focus in the first days, and whether a protein toxin placed inside it could still reach the nerves quickly; compare this with how slowly antibodies and new leukocytes appear.
