Primary Immunodeficiency States (IDS)

Primary immunodeficiency states (IDS) of adaptive immunity predominantly affect the T-cell or B-cell links.

Types of Immunodeficiency

Combined immunodeficiency involves a decrease in the functional activity of the main components of the immune system.

Secondary Immunodeficiencies

The main cause of the formation of secondary immunodeficiencies is a decrease in the functional activity of the immune system due to various external factors.
The main causes of secondary immunodeficiencies include infections, cancers, immune disorders, and treatments that suppress the immune system.

Phagocytic Link Deficiencies

Primary deficiencies of the phagocytic link of innate immunity are primarily associated with defects in the structure and function of phagocytic cells, such as neutrophils and macrophages.

Physiological (age-related) immunodeficiencies are primarily attributed to the decline of immune function with aging.
The role of physiological (age-related) immunodeficiencies is to impair the body's ability to respond to infections and diseases.

T-Cell Link Deficiencies

Immunodeficiency involving a predominant lesion of the T-cell link in adaptive immunity is known as T-cell immunodeficiency.

Characteristics of Immunodeficiency States

The main characteristic of immunodeficiency states (IDS) is the impaired ability of the immune system to respond to infections and diseases.

B-Cell Link Deficiencies

In primary immunodeficiency states, the predominant lesion of the B-cell link is associated with defects in antibody production and humoral immunity.

Test your knowledge of immunodeficiency states with this quiz. Explore the definition, clinical manifestations, and classifications of primary immunodeficiency diseases, including those affecting B-cell, T-cell, and combined T- and B-immunodeficiencies, as well as primary deficiencies of the phagocytic link of innate immunity.
