Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The level of IgM is diminished early in the course of the disease, but levels of IgG, IgA, and IgE may be elevated initially.

Some clinical manifestations of DIC are petechiae, bleeding from openings in the skin, hypotension, and purpura. Hepatosplenomegaly and chronic diarrhea are clinical manifestations of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in children.
