Immunodeficiency disorders occur when the immune response is reduced or absent. Immunodeficiency disorders may affect any part of the immune system. People with severe immunodeficiency are highly susceptible to all kinds of infections, including many that seldom cause illness in healthy people. They are also prone to developing cancer, which is more likely to spread rapidly and widely. Primary immunodeficiency is caused by defective genes that control the development and function of the immune system, usually resulting in frequent, serious infections in childhood or early adult life. Immunodeficiency causes persistent or recurrent infections, severe infections by organisms that are normally mild, incomplete recovery from illness or poor response to treatment, and an increased incidence of cancer and other tumors. Opportunistic infections are widespread infections by microorganisms that are usually controllable. Acquired immunodeficiency may be a complication of diseases such as HIV infection and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Malnutrition, particularly with lack of protein, and many cancers, may also cause immunodeficiency. The goal of treatment for immunodeficiency disorders includes protection against (and treatment of) diseases and infections. Immunocompromised patients should avoid contact with persons who have infections or contagious disorders.
