Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome is manifested by eczema that usually worsens with time, petechiae, bloody diarrhea, or a bleeding episode in the first 6 months of life. Thrombocytopenia is present. Lymphadenopathy is associated with hypogammaglobulinem ia. Pneumonia is associated with severe combined immune deficiency.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Weight appropriate for height would not be associated with primary immunodeficiency. Rather, failure to thrive is considered a warning sign. Other warning signs of primary immunodeficiency include eight or more episodes of acute otitis media in 1 year; two or more episodes of severe sinusitis in 1 year; treatment with antibiotics for 2 months or longer with little effect; two or more episodes of pneumonia in 1 year; recurrent deep skin or organ abscesses; persistent oral thrush or skin candidiasis after age 1 year; history of infections that do not clear with antibiotics; two or more serious infections; and a family history of primary immunodeficiency.
