Slow wound healing and easy bruising (A) as well as mouth sores and oral patches (E) are indicative of altered immunocompetence. These symptoms suggest the body's immune system is not functioning properly, making the patient more susceptible to infections and illnesses. Bursitis and muscle cramps (B), heart palpitations (C), and heartburn and increased flatus (D) are not directly related to immunocompetence.
