question in the former subjuct:
A 10 month old male infant  brought to the ER in june.He is listless,cranky and floppy as a dishrag.He has no hair or teeth.The mother has very little hair and baby teeth.H
She syas the baby hasnt smiled, rolled up or attempted to stand for the past 2 weeks.she says the both of them cant tolerate heat.which of the foll.skin structures is absent or greatly decreased.?
A.sweat glands.
B sebaceous glands
C.Langerhans cells.
DMerkels cells
E pacinian corpuscles
------
I think this is Congenital total alopecia, an isolated autosomal recessive abnormality.
In the question, 'no hair' is the cue.
In Congenital total alopecia, patiant may suffer from hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, which leads to heat intolerance.
So I choose B.
