Infections related to Immunodeficiency

Infections related to immunodeficiency occur when the immune system is weakened and unable to effectively fight off pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Individuals with immunodeficiency, whether due to genetic factors, certain diseases (like HIV), or medications (like chemotherapy), are more susceptible to infections and may experience more severe symptoms. Common infections may include pneumonia, tuberculosis, and opportunistic infections, which are rare in healthy individuals but can be dangerous for those with weakened immunity. Prevention and prompt treatment are crucial to manage infections in these vulnerable populations.
