How Do Immunodeficiency Disorders Affect Susceptibility to Infections?
Individuals with immunodeficiency disorders have a weakened immune system that makes them more susceptible to infections. They may experience recurrent, severe, or unusual infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. For example, people with HIV/AIDS are more prone to opportunistic infections like Pneumocystis pneumonia and Cytomegalovirus infections.
