This document contains two multiple choice pathology questions and their explanations. The first question is about COPD and the correct answer is that panacinar emphysema is mainly associated with alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency. The second question is about streptococcal virulence factors and the correct answer is that endotoxins do not cause tissue damage like heart valve damage. The document provides context about the questions through subject headings and references.

A Asthma constitutes majority of cases B Bronchiectusis mainly affect respiratory bronchioles C Panacinar emphysema is mainly associated with alpha 1 qntitryppsin deficiency D Core pulmonale is common presentation of emphysema E Smoking does not affect severity of emphysema in people with alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency Answer C Explanation A - Majority are chronic bronchitis and emphysema B - Mainly bronchus D - Rare and terminal in emphysema but common in bronchitis E - Greater severity with smoking
2 Streptococcal virulence factors include all of the following except
A Pneumolysin that lyses host cells B Exotoxins that produce rush in scarlet fever C Endotoxins that cause tissue damage like heart valve D Lactic acid that demineralises tooth enamel E Proteases that degrade chemotactic peptides and immunoglobulins Answer C Explanation Heart valves are damaged by direct haematogenous invasion and vegetation formation rather than endotoxin Subject Pathology Category Infectious diseases: Gram positive bacterial infections Reference Robbins, Pocket companion 6th ed.
