KROK 1 2007 – Question 132 · KROK (Medicine) · Pathomorphology
Colonoscopy of a patient ill with dysentery revealed that mucous membrane of his large intestine is hyperemic, edematic, its surface was covered with grey-and-green coats. Name the morphological form of dysenteric colitis:
- A. Necrotic
- B. Ulcerous
- C. Fibrinous
- D. Catarrhal
- E. Purulent
Hint
A grey-green adherent film on a swollen, hyperaemic mucosa is more than simple surface catarrh but is not yet an ulcer; ask what the exudate is made of and which stage of bacillary dysentery produces it.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
