Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Nitaxoanide treats giardiasis.
Rationale 2: Tinidazole is the second treatment of choice of amebiasis.
Rationale 3: Metronidazole is the primary treatment choice for amebiasis.
Rationale 4: Pentamidine treats trypanosomiasis.
Global Rationale: The drug of choice for both intestinal and hepatic amebiasis is metronidazole, due to its safety and efficacy. Tinidazole (Tindamax) is an option for patients unable to take metronidazole. Nitaxoanide treats giardiasis. Pentamidine treats trypanosomiasis.
