T-cell immunodeficiency

T-cell immunodeficiency is a condition where the body’s immune system, specifically the T-cells, doesn’t work properly. T-cells are a type of white blood cell essential for fighting infections and protecting against diseases. When someone has T-cell immunodeficiency, they may become more susceptible to infections, including viruses and certain bacteria. This condition can be caused by genetic factors, infections, or certain medical treatments. People with this issue may require special medical care to manage infections and improve their immune response. Awareness and early diagnosis are key to effective treatment and management.
