- Dnasopharyngitis
Correct answer
B. Ascariasis
Step-by-step solution
Ascariasis is an infection caused by the roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides. During its life cycle, the larvae migrate through the lungs, which can cause an inflammatory response known as Ascaris pneumonitis (Loeffler's syndrome). This condition is typically accompanied by a marked increase in eosinophils in the blood, known as eosinophilia.
Amoebiasis primarily affects the intestines and liver. Typhoid is a bacterial infection causing high fever and intestinal issues. Nasopharyngitis is a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract (common cold).
