Ans. (A) Cholera(Ref: Katzung, 11/e p897, CMDT 2010, 1341, KDT 8/e p788)Tetracyclines are used for prophylaxis of both cholera (Katzung) as well as leptospirosis (CMDT). However, if we have to choose one, we will go with cholera, as the table on pg 897 of Katzung clearly writes tetracycline for cholera prophylaxis whereas in CMDT reference, doxycycline is used for prophylaxis of leptospirosis.
