Introduction

Like any system in the body the immune system can go wrong. 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 primary immunodeficiency.

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