An immunodeficiency disease is caused when the immune system of the body fails to carry out its regular function of providing protection from various pathogens such as virus, bacteria, fungus, parasites, and others. These immunodeficiency diseases can be classified into primary and secondary immunodeficiency diseases. Primary immunodeficiency diseases are present in an individual at birth itself and are a result of gene mutations such as deletion of gene, duplication of gene and others. These genetic defects may lead to primary immunodeficiency diseases such as combined immunodeficiency disease, DiGeorge syndrome, hypogammaglobulinemia, Bruton’s disease, and others. Some of the factors responsible for causing secondary immunodeficiency disease include malnutrition, diabetes, radiation, severe burns, and others. Few examples of secondary immunodeficiency diseases include HIV-AIDS, leukemia, viral hepatitis, multiple myeloma, and others. Immunodeficiency diseases can be treated using antibiotic therapy, immunoglobulin therapy, anti-viral drugs, stem cell, and gene therapy.
