Use research to differentiate between a primary and a secondary immune deficiency (immunodeficiency). Then, list 10 common diseases that can cause a secondary immunodeficiency. Finally, describe some actions that you can take to prevent an immune deficiency.

Respuesta :

Immunodeficiency disorders are associated with or predispose affected patients to various complications, including infections, autoimmune disorders, and lymphomas and other cancers. Primary immunodeficiencies are hereditary; secondary immunodeficiencies are acquired. Secondary immunodeficiencies are much more common. 10 common diseases are: AIDS, cancers of the immune system (like leukemia), immune-complex diseases (like viral hepatitis), multiple myeloma, cancer of the plasma cells, diabetes, HIV etc. To prevent an immune deficiency you need good hygiene, eat right, manage your stress, take care of your teeth, get enough sleep, be physically active, and ask your doctor about vaccinations etc.

Answer:

(Answers may vary.)

In my research, I found that primary deficiencies are present at birth (congenital). Genetic defects cause these deficiencies. They are rare and occur in infants and children. Secondary immunodeficiencies are caused by environmental factors. Some factors are poor diet and certain medications or diseases. They are more common than primary immunodeficiencies and may develop at any age.

The following common diseases can cause a secondary immunodeficiency:

   cancers

   HIV infection

   hepatitis

   burns

   diabetes

   chronic kidney disease

   rheumatoid arthritis

   lupus

   leukemia

   malnutrition

Some actions can prevent an immune deficiency:

   Eat a healthy diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables.

   Avoid people with infections (such as colds).

   Wash your hands frequently.

   Obtain adequate sleep (about 8 hours).

   Practice safe-sex.
