Overview
Immune disorder is a condition in which the immune system of a person fails to work properly. It can result in the body’s inability to fight off infections, making the person vulnerable to potentially life threatening illnesses. Certain types of immune disorders can be genetic, meaning they occur as a result of a person’s inherited DNA, while other disorders are considered acquired, meaning they develop due to environmental factors such as exposure to certain viruses, bacteria, or other particles. Treatment of immune disorder depends on the type and severity of the disorder, but often includes the use of medications, lifestyle changes, and therapies to help strengthen the immune system. Immune disorder is a significant health issue due to its ability to cause serious and even fatal illnesses, and early diagnosis and treatment can help reduce the risk and severity of these illnesses.
