Selective IgA Deficiency Selective IgA Deficiency is one of the most common primary immunodeficiency diseases. Studies have indicated that as many as one in every 500 Caucasian people has Selective IgA Deficiency. The rate of occurrence may be different in other ethnic groups.

Common Variable Immunodeficiency Practice Essentials. Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a disorder that involves the following: Low levels of most or all of the immunoglobulin (Ig) classes. Lack of B lymphocytes or plasma cells that are capable of producing antibodies.

HIV/AIDS Human immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is a spectrum of conditions caused by infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Following initial infection, a person may experience a brief period of influenza-like illness.s of 2012, approximately 35.3 million people are living with HIV globally. HIV/AIDS is considered a pandemic —a disease outbreak which is present over a large area and is actively spreading. Genetic research indicates that HIV originated in west-central Africa during the late 19th or early 20th century.

- ABSTRACT. Pulmonary complications are the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients, who lack of the basic mechanisms of cellular defense. Regardless of the cause of the immunodeficiency, the most common complications are infections (bacterial, viral or fungal).ulmonary complications are the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients, who lack of the basic mechanisms of cellular defense.

Overview of Immunodeficiency Disorders In an autoimmune disorder, the immune system attacks the body's own tissues. Sometimes the autoimmune disorder develops before the immunodeficiency causes any symptoms. There are two types of immunodeficiency disorders: Primary: These disorders are usually present at birth and are usually hereditary.

Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) Common variable immunodeficiency is a primary immunodeficiency disorder. It is usually diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40 but may appear earlier or later in life. The number of B cells is usually normal, but the cells do not mature and thus cannot produce immunoglobulins.

HIV-2 is rarely reported in the United States, largely confined to persons from West Africa, and less likely to cause AIDS.f the two types of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), HIV-1 accounts for most HIV infections worldwide and, untreated, causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

Immunodeficiency Immunodeficiency may also decrease cancer immunosurveillance. Most cases of immunodeficiency are acquired (secondary) but some people are born with defects in their immune system, or primary immunodeficiency.

Immunodeficiency Disorders Immunodeficiency disorders prevent your body from adequately fighting infections and diseases. An immunodeficiency disorder also makes it easier for you to catch viruses and bacterial infections in the first place. Doctors often categorize immunodeficiency disorders as either congenital or acquired. A congenital, or primary, disorder is one you were born with.

Immunodeficiency (November 2007) Immunodeficiency (or immune deficiency) is a state in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. Most cases of immunodeficiency are acquired (secondary) due to extrinsic factors that affect the patient's immune system. Examples of these extrinsic factors include HIV infection, extremes of age, and environmental factors, such as nutrition.

Primary immunodeficiency Primary immunodeficiencies are disorders in which part of the body's immune system is missing or does not function normally. To be considered a primary immunodeficiency, the cause of the immune deficiency must not be secondary in nature (i.e., caused by other disease, drug treatment, or environmental exposure to toxins).

Primary immunodeficiency Symptoms. One of the most common signs of primary immunodeficiency is an increased susceptibility to infections. You may have infections that are more frequent, longer lasting or harder to treat than are the infections of someone with a normal immune system.igns and symptoms of primary immunodeficiency can include: 1  Frequent and recurrent pneumonia, bronchitis, sinus infections, ear infections, meningitis or skin infections. 2  Inflammation and infection of internal organs. 3  Blood disorders, such as low platelet counts or anemia.

Infectious Disease Epidemiology Program The most common types of invasive disease are pneumonia, occult febrile bacteremia, meningitis, epiglottitis, septic arthritis, cellulitis, otitis media, purulent pericarditis, and other less common infections such as endocarditis, and osteomyelitis.

immunodeficiency Immunodeficiency disorders are a group of disorders in which part of the immune system is missing or defective. Therefore, the body's ability to fight infections is impaired. As a result, the person with an immunodeficiency disorder will have frequent infections that are generally more severe and last longer than usual.eople with this disorder tend to get severe bacterial infections. Common variable immunodeficiency is another type of B lymphocyte deficiency. In this disorder, the production of one or more of the immunoglobulin types is decreased and the antibody response to infections is impaired.

HIV/AIDS Human immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome is a spectrum of conditions caused by infection with the human immunodeficiency virus. Following initial infection, a person may not notice any symptoms or may experience a brief period of influenza-like illness. Typically, this is followed by a prolonged period with no symptoms. As the infection progresses, it interferes more with the immune system, increasing the risk of common infections like tuberculosis, as well

Immunoglobulin G Deficiency Immunodeficiency diseases are commonly classified into disorders that affect one or more of the 4 major limbs of the immune system. These limbs are (1) B cells, ie, humoral immunity; (2) T cells, ie, cell-mediated immunity; (3) phagocytes; and (4) complement. B-cell immunity is mediated by the immunoglobulins and is commonly referred to as humoral immunity.

HIV/AIDS The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infects cells of the immune system, destroying or impairing their function. Infection with the virus results in progressive deterioration of the immune system, leading to immune deficiency.. The immune system is considered deficient when it can no longer fulfil its role of fighting infection and disease. Infections associated with severe immunodeficiency are known as opportunistic infections, because they take advantage of a weakened immune system.

Overview of Immunodeficiency Disorders Key Points. Secondary (acquired) immunodeficiencies are much more common than primary (hereditary) immunodeficiencies. Primary immunodeficiencies can affect humoral immunity (most commonly), cellular immunity, both humoral and cellular immunity, phagocytic cells, or the complement system.
