Immunodeficincies
Immunodeficincies could be primary and acquired.
Primary immunodeficinecies are caused by genetic disturbances that disrupt normal differentiation and function of the immune system. Diagnosis of the primary immunodeficiency diseases (PID) is most commonly made in children less than 15 years old (80% are males), with the predominance of B cell defects. Combined B and T cell deficits, disorders of the innate immunity and complement components are less common.
Acquired immunodeficiencies are far more common, and are the result of negative influence of the various environmental and microbial factors on the immune system. The most prominent infective cause of the secondary immune deficiency is the HIV virus, while malnutrition, chemo/radiotherapy could be also significant.
