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.

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts.
