Immune system disorder
An immune system disorder occurs when the body's defense system, which protects against infections and diseases, doesn't function properly. This can mean the immune system is too weak, making someone more prone to infections (like in HIV/AIDS), or too strong, leading to allergies or autoimmune diseases where the body attacks its own tissues (like in lupus or rheumatoid arthritis). These disorders can significantly affect a person’s health, making it crucial to understand and manage them for improved quality of life. Treatment often involves medication, lifestyle changes, and regular medical care.
