A depletion in the body's natural immune system, or in some component of it
immunological disorder in which some part of the body's immune system is inadequate and resistance to infectious diseases is reduced
A deficiency of the immune system which results in the person to have a reduce ability or no ability to fight infection Back to Genetherapy article
the inability of the immune system to work properly, resulting in susceptibility to disease Immunodeficiency may be either congenital (present from birth) or acquired HIV leads to immunodeficiency by attacking T-cells
A depletion in the bodys natural immune system, or in some component of it
A deficiency of immune response or a disorder characterized by deficient immune response; classified as antibody (B cell), cellular (T cell), combined deficiency or phagocytic dysfunction disorders
Impaired immunity resulting from inherited or acquired abnormalities of the immune system, leading to increased vulnerability to infection
A lowering of the body's ability to fight off infection and disease
a state of either a congenital (present at birth) or an acquired abnormality of the immune system, which prevents adequate immune responsiveness
A decreased ability to fight infection caused by a decrease in the function or amount of immune globulins, or certain white blood cells
Defect in immunity that impairs the body's ability to resist infection. The immune system may fail to function for many reasons. Immune disorders caused by a genetic defect are usually evident early in life. Others can be acquired at any age through infections (e.g., AIDS) or immunosuppression. Aspects of the immune response that may be affected include lymphocytes, other leukocytes, antibodies, and complement. Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), which arises from several different genetic defects, disrupts all of these. Depending on the cause, treatment for immunodeficiency may be administration of immunoglobulins, bone-marrow transplant, or therapy for the underlying disease
The inability of the immune system to satisfactorily protect the body, which results in an increased susceptibility to various cancers and opportunistic infections
{i} inability of the immune system to fight off infections due to a genetic or acquired disease
(Tıp, İlaç) Immunodeficiency (or immune deficiency) is a state in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease is compromised or entirely absent. Most cases of immunodeficiency are acquired ("secondary") but some people are born with defects in the immune system, or primary immunodeficiency. Transplant patients take medications to suppress their immune system as an anti-rejection measure, as do some patients suffering from an over-active immune system. A person who has an immunodeficiency of any kind is said to be immunocompromised. An immunocompromised person may be particularly vulnerable to opportunistic infections, in addition to normal infections that could affect everyone
(Tıp, İlaç) Bağışıklık sistemi yetmezliği
(Tıp, İlaç) Immunodeficiency (or immune deficiency) is a state in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease is compromised or entirely absent
