In
medicine, immunodeficiency (or immune deficiency) is a state in which the
immune system's ability to fight
infectious disease is compromised or entirely absent. Most cases of immunodeficiency are either
congenital or acquired. A person who has an immunodeficiency is said to be immunocompromised. An immunocompromised person is very vulnerable to
opportunistic infections. Boys more often than girls can have immune deficiency. Mostly immune deficiency is recognized in the early ages unless it is an acquired immune deficiency.
