Like any system in the body the immune system can go wrong. [[Autoimmune Diseases - Introduction|Autoimmunity]] is when the immune system begins to attack itself. Immunodeficiency is when the immune system fails to protect itself from disease.

If the immunodeficient defect is present at birth and is therefore a result of a genetic or developmental abnormality, it is called a primary immunodeficiency.

Secondary immunodeficiency, sometimes called acquired immunodeficiency, is the loss of immune function during life, caused by exposure to harmful agents.

Immunodeficiencies can be treated by the replacement of the defective or missing protein, cells or gene. However, in veterinary medicine, [[Vaccines - WikiBlood|vaccinations]] and drugs are the most common treatments for immunodeficiency.
