	Immunodeficiency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In medicine, immunodeficiency (or immune deficiency) is a state in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease is compromised or entirely absent.
		Immune suppression is a common side-effect of many drugs, most importantly chemotherapy.
		Immune deficiency is also the hallmark of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS).

	Immune Deficiency
		The material on this web site including immune deficiency is offered to you for informational purposes only and is not meant to be interpreted as medical advice to diagnose, treat or cure any autoimmune disorder.
		One is a “primary immune deficiency” which is genetic in origin and occurs in about 1 out of 10,000 people.
		The other type of immune deficiency is called a “secondary” or “acquired immune deficiency”. “These are not the result of inherited genetic abnormalities, but arise secondary to some other disease process, or after exposure to drugs or chemicals that are toxic to the immune system.

		MONTREAL – Primary immune deficiency, a potentially fatal condition, is several hundred times more common than physicians expert in the disease ever believed, and as many as 90% of those affected have not been properly diagnosed.
		In its severest form, primary immune deficiency is known as "boy in the bubble" disease, but it also has less severe manifestations that might underlie unexplained chronic infections and even some fatal illnesses in children and young adults.
		Primary immune deficiency is now believed to affect three million young people in Europe alone and 10 million worldwide, according to Fred Modell of New York, who was at the conference with his wife, Vicki, to receive an award for their work in advancing the understanding and treatment of the disease.

	Diseases - About Immune Deficiency - National Jewish Medical and Research Center
		An immune system that is functioning adequately may defend the body against infectious microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites) and protect the body from the development of tumors and cancer.
		An immune deficiency disease occurs when one or more cells within the immune system do not operate properly, or the system is absent altogether.
		Other primary immune deficiencies, such as common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), appear less obviously inherited, but the causes of the defects are unknown and genetic factors cannot be ruled out.

	Michigan Immunodeficiency Foundation - Dealing with Primary Immune Deficiency
		In contrast to secondary immune deficiency disease in which the immune system is compromised by factors outside the immune system, such as with certain medications like chemotherapy or viruses, the primary immune deficiency diseases are caused by genetic or intrinsic defects in the immune system.
		Untreated primary immune deficiencies may be characterized by frequent life-threatening or chronic infections and debilitating illnesses.
		With advances in medicine and our increasing knowledge of primary immune deficiency diseases, treatment of primary immune deficient patients who in the past may not have even survived childhood are now capable of living nearly normal lives.

	Severe Combined Immunodeficiency
		There are many other immune deficiencies that may result in recurrent infections, but some children are born with an incomplete, or deficient, immune system.
		Children with complete immune deficiency and with severe SCID usually have little ability to reject new stem cells and do not require therapy to allow new, healthy cells to grow.
		But children whose immune systems are not as suppressed may be able to reject the new stem cells, so before transplant they may need to undergo chemotherapy to suppress their immune systems.

		Primary immune deficiency diseases (PID) are a group of potentially serious disorders in which inherited defects in the immune system lead to increased infections.
		The use of antibiotics to treat and prevent infections is a key element in the treatment of primary immune deficiency diseases.
		Immune system molecules, such as interferon gamma, can be used to improve immune function and reduce infection.

		Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS) may be a cluster of related diseases that produce severe and persisting fatigue as one of the main symptoms.
		When cell mediated immune responses were compared in those with CFIDS, and those with major depression but without CFIDS, the prevalence and magnitude of the disturbance was found to be greater in those with CFIDS than without.
		Thus, there may be deficiency (spleen or kidney qi deficiency being the probable) or a combination of deficiency and excess (liver qi stagnation resulting in spleen qi weakness) or an excess condition (stagnation of qi and blood, accumulation of dampness).

		If an immune deficiency is suspected, a series of blood tests and vaccines may be done.
		In the normal immune system, anti-bodies against the organisms in the vaccine are formed in the blood.

		However, the diagnosis of this specific antibody deficiency is hampered by the lack of sufficient data and standardized testing of the response to pneumococcal polysaccharides.
		As with the T-cell immune deficiencies, the spectrum of antibody deficiencies is broad, ranging from the most severe type of antibody deficiency with totally absent B cells and serum Igs to patients who have a selective antibody deficiency with normal serum Ig.
