2. Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Related Infections

Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) is a rare genetic disorder that results in a severely weakened immune system. Individuals with SCID can't effectively fight off infections due to a lack of key immune cells. As a result, they are highly susceptible to serious infections from bacteria, viruses, and fungi that are typically harmless to healthy individuals. Common infections may include pneumonia, severe respiratory infections, or gastrointestinal issues, which can quickly become life-threatening without intervention. Early diagnosis and treatments, such as gene therapy or bone marrow transplants, are crucial to help improve the immune response and reduce infection risks.
