Immune Deficiency

Service Overview

The immune system is there to protect the body from germs and other threats.  An immune deficiency is when your immune system has a weaker response to those threats and it makes you less able to fight off infections.

It can happen as a result from medications or illness. It can also be present from birth which is a genetic disorder known as primary immune deficiency.

Examples of primary immunodeficiency disorders include:

  • Humoral immunity, which involves B cells (lymphocytes
  • Cellular immunity, which involves T cells (lymphocytes)
  • Both humoral and cellular immunity (B cells and T cells)
  • Phagocytes (cells that ingest and kill microorganisms)
  • Complement proteins (proteins that help immune cells kill bacteria and identify foreign cells to destroy)

Examples of secondary immunodeficiency disorders can be a result of:

  • Prolonged (chronic) and/or serious disorders such as diabetes or cancer
  • Drugs
  • Undernutrition
  • Rarely, radiation therapy
