What is Immune Deficiency?

Primary immune deficiencies are classified as primary (congenital) and secondary (acquired) immune deficiency.

Primary immune deficiencies, inherited genetic defects, depending on the functioning of the immune system disorder characterized by emerging diseases.

Due to protection of maternal antibodies in the newborn infant in Primer-B-cell immune failure’ symptoms show themselves after six months of born.

Every step of the emergence of an effective immune response, may create the potential for primary immune deficiency disease.

Early diagnosis, genetic counseling, are important for proper right treatment.

Secondary immune deficiency may occur due to cancers (especially leukemia and lymphoma)or while treatment of cancers with immunosuppressive or cytotoxic (immunosuppressive) drugs or radiotherapy, or both used ,also bone marrow and other transplant recipients (transplant) regimes, splenectomy (spleen retrieval operation) or some infections (eg, human immunodeficiency virus infection / acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) could be the reason of Secondary immune deficiency.

Auto Immune Diseases

Autoimmune Disease become due to identifying some of the body’s tissues as a foreign material by own body’ immune system.

The reason remains unclear but in some cases, especially in people with genetic predisposition to this disease is seen more or micro - organisms and diseases induced by drugs that have been identified as a reason of autoimmune diseases. A single organ or a few organs and tissues may be affected by this disease.

Examples of Autoimmune Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), Dermatomyositis and severe muscle wasting diseases (Guillain-Barre, Myasthenia gravis).
