Common Diseases and Disorders of the Immune System

Question 12 • *GV 2018 - P.E. Health Science Concepts - PE361

Which treatment is specific to SCID?

Answer
A
taking immunosuppressant drugs
B
exercising regularly
C
transplanting the bone marrow
D
removing the thyroid gland

Explanation

SCID severely impairs the immune system, and a bone marrow transplant can provide healthy immune-system stem cells to rebuild immune function. Therefore, the specific treatment listed is transplanting the bone marrow. Immunosuppressant drugs would weaken immunity further, and exercise or thyroid removal does not treat SCID.
