The following are multiple choice questions (with answers) about medical knowledge.   **Question:** A 33-year-old woman presents to the clinic for follow-up of her AIDS treatment with highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART). She is in good spirits and has been fully compliant with her medications and clinic visits. Other medications include prophylactic co-trimoxazole. Recent blood studies show the following: Hemoglobin (Hb%)  11 g/dL Mean corpuscular volume (MCV)  80 fl Reticulocyte count 0.5% Erythrocyte count 2 x 106/mm3 Leucocyte count 700/mm3 Neutrophils 40% Platelet count 20,000/mm3 Assays also show a decreased viral DNA and mRNA burden, as well as a significantly diminished viral load. To avoid modifying the effective anti-retroviral therapy, she is started on a ‘blood improving’ medication. Thirty minutes after the first dose, the patient develops difficulty breathing, severe muscle pain, and vomiting. Her pulse rate is 120/min and the blood pressure is 80/50 mm Hg. Which of the following medications was most likely administered to the patient?   (A) Interleukin 3   (B) Platelet-derived growth factor   (C) Sargramostim   (D) Thrombopoietin
