Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
DiGeorge syndrome results in greatly decreased T cell numbers and function and is evidenced by abnormal development of facial features that are controlled by the same embryonic pouches; these include low-set ears, fish-shaped mouth, and other altered features. B-lymphocyte defi-ciency is not manifested by these symptoms. Neither combined immunologic deficiency nor complement deficiency is manifested by these symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The major immunologic finding in AIDS is the striking decrease in the number of CD4+ T cells. The change occurs in CD4 cells, not CD8. Neither CDC nor CDC 10 is a type of cell.
