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 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 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
