Nice questions EMAK ... I agree with Manoj 100%

Question 3 is a little open to debate as all effects can be seen with most viral infections but the microcephaly pushes me to CMV.

Question 5. E coli would be another acceptable answer but Gp B strep would still win as it is more prevalent. Would you go for Listeria if she had delivered prematurely even in the absence of meconium?? I probably would.
