Practice Question

Correct answer= B.
Pyrimethamine is active against T. gondii and in combination with sulfadiazine is the
treatment of choice for toxoplasmosis. Metronidazole is active against amebiasis and giardiasis. Leucovorin can
be used during the treatment of toxoplasmosis; however, its actions are to protect against folate deficiency caused
by the treatment, and the drug itself does not have antiprotozoal activity. Miltefosine is used for leishmaniasis

Practice Question

Correct answer = B. Miltefosine is the only oral agent available for the treatment of visceral leishmaniasis. All the

other drugs are orally administered, but artemether/lumefantrine is used for the treatment of malaria, nitazoxanide

is used for the treatment of giardiasis or cryptosporidiosis, and tinidazole is effective for amebiasis or giardiasis.

practice Question
