12 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from Pharyngitis And Sore Throat, published by icmr.gov.in. The source is a 1-page publication. Source-evidenced topics include standard treatment workflow (stw), icd-10-j02, rapid antigen detection test (radt), centor criteria, amoxicillin, erythromycin, azithromycin, ceftriaxone. Every answer is a verbatim span of text the source prints, and each row carries the passage it sits in, its offset in that passage, the source quote, the page and the location in the document, so any row can be checked against the original. Question types in the export: 8 list, 3 factual, 1 relationship. 9 of the 12 pairs (75.0%) ask explanatory questions; the remaining 3 are factual or table-based questions. 100.00% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.
This dataset contains 12 extractive question-and-answer pairs derived from a publication by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) on pharyngitis and sore throat. The questions cover topics such as treatment protocols, symptoms, complications, and diagnostic criteria. Answers are verbatim excerpts from the source document, ensuring traceability. The dataset includes explanatory, factual, and list-based questions, with 75% focusing on explanations. It provides insights into medical guidelines for managing conditions like streptococcal pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and epiglottitis.
