Sample Questions

Question 1
A 12-month-old infant of African descent undergoes screening for hemoglobinopathy. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) reveals HbA 0%, HbS 88%, HbF 9%, and HbA2 3.0%. Both parents are confirmed carriers of the sickle cell trait (HbAS). Which diagnosis is most consistent with these laboratory findings?
Sickle Hereditary Persistence of Fetal Hemoglobin (HbS/HPFH)
Sickle Cell Trait (HbAS)
Sickle Beta-Plus Thalassemia (HbS/β+)
Homozygous Sickle Cell Anaemia (HbSS)
Question 2
A 4-year-old child with sickle cell anaemia (HbSS) is initiated on hydroxyurea disease-modifying therapy. Which physiological mechanism accounts for the primary therapeutic benefit of hydroxyurea in reducing vaso-occlusive pain crises?
Induction of gamma-globin gene expression and increased fetal hemoglobin (HbF)
Competitive inhibition of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG) synthesis
Direct inhibition of sickle hemoglobin polymer cross-linking
Irreversible binding to RBC membrane Band 3 protein to enhance deformability
Question 3
A 6-year-old boy with HbSS presents to the emergency department with fever (38.9°C), cough, chest pain, tachypnoea, and a new segmental infiltrate on chest radiography. Pulse oximetry shows oxygen saturation of 91% on room air. What is the immediate first-line medical management package?
Supplemental oxygen, empiric IV ceftriaxone plus oral azithromycin, analgesia, and simple blood transfusion
Empiric oral amoxicillin and outpatient follow-up in 48 hours
Immediate urgent high-dose IV dexamethasone and plasmapheresis
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and immediate therapeutic anticoagulation with therapeutic LMWH
Question 4
Annual Transcranial Doppler (TCD) screening in a 5-year-old girl with sickle cell anaemia demonstrates a time-averaged maximum mean velocity (TAMMV) of 215 cm/s in the right middle cerebral artery. According to international guidelines (STOP trial criteria), what is the most appropriate long-term management strategy?
Initiation of a regular chronic blood transfusion program to maintain HbS < 30%
Discontinuation of hydroxyurea and initiation of low-dose aspirin monotherapy
Repeat TCD ultrasonography in 6 months without changing therapy
Immediate surgical revascularization (encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis / EDAS)
Question 5
An 8-month-old infant presents with progressive pallor, failure to thrive, hepatosplenomegaly, and severe microcytic hypochromic anaemia (Hb 4.8 g/dL, MCV 54 fL). Hemoglobin analysis reveals HbF 94%, HbA2 4.5%, and HbA 0%. What is the underlying genetic condition?
Beta-Thalassemia Minor (Trait)
Alpha-Thalassemia Trait (--/αα)
Beta-Thalassemia Major (β0/β0)
Hemoglobin H Disease (--/-α)
