2 Secondary immunodeficiency Immunomodulatory drugs can severely depress immune functions. Steroids affect cell traffic, induce leucocytopenia and inhibit cytokine synthesis. Cyclophosphamide, azathioprine and my cophenolate mofetil act directly on DNA or its synthesis. Severe protein – energy malnutrition (PEM) reduces the efficacy of the immune system.

The immune system is also the cause of many other types of disease, like autoimmune diseases and allergies. There is a large body of evidence [1–3], ranging from epidemiological [4,5] to animal model experiments [6,7], showing that exposure to the diseases that the immune system fights provides protection from the diseases that the immune ...

designed to accomplish a singular goal: to differentiate self from non-self. The healthy immune system has the ability to distinguish between the body’s own cells, recognized as “self” and foreign cells, or “non-self.” When the immune system is challenged by a microbe, it has many defense barriers and types of responses to choose.

which the immune system “over-reacts” to foreign antigen such that the immune response itself is more harmful than the antigen. All types of hypersensitivity involve: • the adaptive immune response • i.e., highly specific reactions via T or B cells • prior exposure to the antigen • the initial exposure sensitizes the individual but does

Immunodeficiency disorders impair the immune system’sability to defend the body against foreign or abnormal cells that invade or attack it (such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and cancer cells). As a result, unusual bacterial, viral, or fungal infections or lymphomas or other cancers may develop. In an autoimmune disorder, the immune system

A healthy immune system defends the body against disease and infection. But if the immune system . malfunctions, it mistakenly attacks healthy cells, tissues, and organs. Called autoimmune disease, these attacks can affect any part of the body, weakening bodily function and even turning life-threatening. Scientists know about more than 100 ...

immune system makes a mistake and starts attacking the body’s own tissues or organs. This is called autoimmunity. There are many autoimmune diseases one example being type 1 diabetes in which the Islets cells (produce Insulin) in the pancreas are destroyed by the immune system. An autoimmune disease is a case of mistaken identity; it is an ...
