Immunodeficiency / Immunocompromised eg HIV AIDS
A person who has an immunodeficiency of any kind is said to be immunocompromised. An immunocompromised individual may particularly be vulnerable to opportunistic infections, in addition to normal infections that could affect anyone.
Immunodeficiency disorders disrupt your body’s ability to defend itself against bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Immunodeficiency disorders prevent your body from fighting infections and diseases. This type of disorder makes it easier for you to catch viruses and bacterial infections.
There are two types of immunodeficiency disorders: those you are born with, or congenital (primary), and those that are acquired (secondary), disorders you get later in life. Anything that weakens your immune system can lead to a secondary immunodeficiency disorder. Acquired disorders are more common than congenital disorders.
