He is started on an antibiotic regimen and the infection subsides. Three weeks later, the boy is diagnosed with pruritic papulovesicular dermatitis. Which of the following immune deficiency syndromes would account for this patient’s recurrent staphylococcal infections and pruritic papulovesicular dermatitis?
(A) Ataxia-telangiectasia
(B) Bruton’s agammaglobulinemia
(C) Job’s syndrome
(D) Thymic aplasia
(E) Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome
