A group of disorders where the immune system attacks the body's own tissues.

The inability of the immune system to function properly, leaving the body vulnerable to infections and diseases.

A type of immunodeficiency characterized by severe impairment of both B and T cell function, resulting in a complete lack of immune response.

A type of immunodeficiency resulting from deficiencies in complement proteins, which are critical for immune system function.

A type of immunodeficiency characterized by defects in granulocytes, white blood cells that fight infections.

A condition where the immune system targets and destroys the body's own healthy tissues.

Autoimmune diseases that specifically target a particular organ or tissue.

Autoimmune diseases affecting multiple organs and tissues throughout the body.

The condition of having dry mouth, often caused by decreased salivary gland function.

An autoimmune disease that affects the salivary and tear glands, resulting in dry mouth and dry eyes.

An exaggerated immune response that causes tissue damage upon repeated exposure to the same antigen. Think of it as an immune system overreaction.

The most common type of hypersensitivity; it's a rapid reaction (within 1 hour) caused by allergens. IgE antibodies bind to mast cells, and upon re-exposure, they release mediators like histamine, leading to inflammation.

Rarer than Type I. Develops within 2-24 hours. IgG and IgM antibodies attack cells, activating the complement system and/or killing cells directly.

Occurs hours to days after exposure. IgG and IgM antibodies form complexes with free antigens, leading to inflammation and tissue damage, often in blood vessels.

Second most common type. Takes days to develop. T cells and macrophages are activated, leading to inflammation and tissue damage, often triggered by delayed exposure to antigens.

A condition where the immune system is weakened, making the body susceptible to infections. It can be inherited or acquired.

Immunodeficiency caused by a genetic defect, making the body vulnerable to infections. This is often inherited.

Immunodeficiency caused by factors like malnutrition, HIV infection or drugs, impacting the immune system.

An inherited condition where the body cannot produce enough IgA antibody. IgA is important for mucosal immunity, protecting against infections in the gut, respiratory tract, and other mucous membranes.

An inherited condition where both T cells and B cells are affected, leading to a severely weakened immune system. A common example is SCID (Severe Combined Immunodeficiency).
