If a symptom occurs only with a certain problem, and always with that problem, we say it's ______ of that.  As in, "Blue spots in clusters of three are ____ of Whatzit."  It's not "symptomatic of" or "characteristic of" because those imply that the symptoms also occur with other illnesses.  What's the phrase that means "always this and only this"?
