The difference between autoimmune diseases and immune deficiency diseases with examples.
Introduction:
The protection against virus or any other pathogens is provided by the immune system of the body. Any malfunction in the immune system could lead to various diseases. Sometimes the immune system may launch inappropriate action against the immune cells or may be affected by the disorders that reduce the effectiveness of immunity. Autoimmune diseases and immune deficiency diseases are the results of malfunctions in the immune system.
