Kоlb - Allergies аnd Allergic Diseаses A pаtient is prescribed penicillin tо treat an infectiоn. After 10 days, the patient begins to feel very fatigued and dizzy, is bruising easily, and has pale skin. Upon visiting the doctor again, the patient is diagnosed with hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia. (A) Briefly define the likely cause of these symptoms.

(2 points) (D) People living in less developed countries are significantly less likely to develop atopic reactions than those living in more industrialized countries. This difference is not observed in people originating from these areas who moved to more industrialized areas at a young age, indicating it is not a genetic difference. Briefly define the prevailing hypothesis to explain this observation. (3 points)
