Sample Questions

Question 1
A 48-year-old woman presents with an 8-week history of symmetrical joint pain and swelling in both hands and wrists, accompanied by 2 hours of morning stiffness. On examination, she has synovitis in 4 PIP joints, 4 MCP joints, and both wrists (10 small joints total). Laboratory investigations reveal a high-positive anti-CCP antibody titer (>3 times upper limit of normal) and an elevated CRP level. According to the 2010 ACR/EULAR Classification Criteria for Rheumatoid Arthritis, what is her total classification score?
8 points (Joint involvement: 3, Serology: 3, Acute phase reactants: 1, Duration: 1)
9 points (Joint involvement: 5, Serology: 3, Acute phase reactants: 1, Duration: 0)
10 points (Joint involvement: 5, Serology: 3, Acute phase reactants: 1, Duration: 1)
7 points (Joint involvement: 3, Serology: 2, Acute phase reactants: 1, Duration: 1)
Question 2
Which autoantibody possesses the highest specificity (>95%) for diagnosing Rheumatoid Arthritis and is strongly associated with progressive erosive joint damage?
IgM Rheumatoid Factor (RF)
Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP / ACPA)
Anti-nuclear antibody (ANA)
Anti-mutated citrullinated vimentin (anti-MCV)
Question 3
A 52-year-old male with active rheumatoid arthritis is initiated on Oral Methotrexate 15 mg weekly. Which of the following baseline laboratory monitoring panels is mandatory prior to commencing treatment?
Serum creatinine, anti-dsDNA, serum complement C3/C4, and 24-hour urinary protein
Liver transaminases, serum ferritin, HLA-B27 genotype, and stool occult blood
Full blood count, serum uric acid, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and thyroid stimulating hormone
Full blood count, liver transaminases (ALT/AST), serum creatinine/eGFR, chest X-ray, and Hepatitis B/C serology
Question 4
Why is Folic Acid supplementation (e.g., 5 mg weekly taken 24–48 hours after Methotrexate) routinely co-prescribed with Methotrexate in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis?
It enhances the binding affinity of Methotrexate to dihydrofolate reductase in synovial macrophages
It neutralizes circulating methotrexate anti-metabolites to prevent bone marrow aplasia
It reduces gastrointestinal mucosal toxicity, stomatitis, and hepatic transaminase elevation without compromising DMARD efficacy
It prevents methotrexate-induced acute renal tubular necrosis by alkalinizing the urine
Question 5
Which of the following clinical features strongly distinguishes Rheumatoid Arthritis from Hand Osteoarthritis?
Prominent involvement of the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints with bony Heberden's nodes
Asymmetrical joint space narrowing with subchondral sclerosis and osteophyte formation
Brief morning stiffness lasting less than 15 minutes that worsens after prolonged weight-bearing activity
Symmetrical involvement of MCP and wrist joints with morning stiffness lasting more than 60 minutes
