7 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from 1725952343 neurology neuroinfections, published by icmr.gov.in. The source is a 1-page publication. Source-evidenced topics include neuroinfections, standard treatment workflow (stw), differential diagnosis, fever, headache, vomiting, seizures, hemorrhagic stroke. 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: 5 list, 2 relationship. 7 of the 7 pairs (100.0%) ask explanatory questions; the remaining 0 are factual or table-based questions. 100.00% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.
This dataset contains seven extractive question-and-answer pairs focused on neuroinfections, derived from a single-page publication by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR). The questions address topics such as diagnostic procedures, referral criteria, and treatment workflows for conditions like meningoencephalitis and abscesses. Each answer is a verbatim excerpt from the source document, ensuring traceability. The dataset emphasizes explanatory questions, with no factual or table-based queries included.
