Question

a positive pandy test indicates elevated globulin levels in the cerebrospinal fluid. a strongly positive pandy reaction is most commonly associated with which of the following conditions?
a) hyperparathyroidism
b) ebv
c) multiple sclerosis
d) acute rheumatic fever

Explanation:

The Pandy test detects globulin in cerebrospinal fluid. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is associated with intrathecal immunoglobulin synthesis, leading to elevated globulin and a strongly positive Pandy reaction. Hyperparathyroidism mainly affects calcium - related metabolism. EBV (Epstein - Barr Virus) can cause various infections but not typically a strongly positive Pandy in the context of cerebrospinal fluid globulin elevation as a hallmark. Acute rheumatic fever is related to streptococcal infection and heart - joint manifestations rather than a strongly positive Pandy due to cerebrospinal fluid globulin changes like in MS.

Answer:

c) Multiple Sclerosis
