Ans:
B, C, E

Feedback:

Secondary immunodeficiency disorders develop later in life as a result of other pathophysiologic states such as malnutrition, disseminated cancers, infection of the cells of the immune system, and treatment with immunosuppressive drugs, such as chemotherapeutic agents. Primary disorders may be congenital or inherited as sex-linked, autosomal dominant, or autosomal recessive traits. Humoral (B-cell) immunodeficiencies are primarily associated with recurrent infections like Staphylococcus aureus.
