Immunodeficiences

This article explores the complexities of immunodeficiencies and autoimmunity. It defines immunodeficiencies, including primary and secondary types, highlighting their causes and effects. Primary immunodeficiency arises from genetic or developmental issues in the immune system, while secondary immunodeficiency is acquired, resulting from various factors like infections (e.g., HIV/AIDS) or malnutrition. Additionally, the concept of tolerance is discussed, emphasizing how mechanisms protect against self-reactive lymphocytes to maintain immune balance. Understanding these conditions is crucial for developing effective treatments.
