Match the following :

Disease	Test
(a) Leprosy	1. Glycosylated hemoglobin test
(b) Typhoid fever	2. Lepromin test
(c) Tuberculosis	3. Widal test
(d) Diabetes	4. Mantoux test

Answer: B

The correct code is a-2, b-3, c-4, d-1.

Leprosy: Lepromin test, a skin test of the response to Mycobacterium leprae antigen.
Typhoid fever: Widal test, which detects antibodies against Salmonella typhi.
Tuberculosis: Mantoux (tuberculin) test.
Diabetes: glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) test, which shows the average blood sugar over the previous two to three months.

The other codes swap the Widal and Mantoux tests or give leprosy the diabetes test.
