✅ Correct Answer: (b) Buerger’s Disease
Explanation:
Buerger’s disease, also known as Thromboangiitis Obliterans, is an inflammatory condition affecting small and medium-sized arteries and veins, mainly in the arms and legs.
It commonly occurs in young male smokers and leads to reduced blood flow, pain, ulcers, and in severe cases, gangrene.
Why are the other options incorrect?
(a) Raynaud’s Disease → It is a vasospastic disorder causing episodic constriction of blood vessels, not vasculitis.
(c) Aneurysm → It refers to abnormal dilation of a blood vessel, not inflammation.
(d) Septicemia → It is a bloodstream infection and not a localized inflammatory disease of extremity vessels.
✅ Exam Point:
Small + Medium vessels inflammation in limbs + Smoker = Think Buerger’s Disease.
Frequently asked in AIIMS, ESIC, RRB, CHO, ANM & GNM exams.
