Other immunodeficiencies - what does this mean

Other immunodeficiencies are caused by a variety of genetic and acquired factors, including genetic mutations, exposure to environmental toxins, or a malfunctioning immune system due to chronic illnesses such as hiv/aids or cancer. these immunodeficiencies can lead to an increased susceptibility to infections and a decreased ability to fight off infections.

What happens during the disease - other immunodeficiencies

Other immunodeficiencies are a group of disorders caused by a defect in the immune system, which can be acquired or inherited. these disorders can be caused by genetic mutations, infections, or autoimmune diseases. in some cases, the cause is unknown. the effects of these disorders vary, but can include an increased risk of infection, autoimmune diseases, and some cancers.
