Innate Immune Deficiency

Innate immune deficiency refers to a condition where the body's first line of defense against infections is weakened or impaired. This can happen due to genetic factors or other health issues, making it harder for the body to fight off germs like bacteria and viruses. Individuals with this deficiency may experience frequent or severe infections, as their immune system lacks the tools it needs to respond effectively to threats. Treatment often focuses on preventing infections and may include medications or therapies to support the immune system. Understanding and managing this condition is vital for maintaining health.
