A 23-year-old woman comes to the physician for a routine checkup. She has generally been well over the past year, although she notes that she has “had a few falls lately.” On physical examination, the lesion shown in the image is found on her skin. Blood is drawn for laboratory evaluation. The results show that the woman has very low levels of IgA. Based on her presentation, this patient will most likely also present with which of the following symptoms?
(A) Cerebellar problems
(B) Granulomas
(C) Low levels of all other immunoglobulin isotypes
(D)Tetany
(E) Visual hallucinations
