Immunodeficiency Disorders
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Immunodeficiency disorders are a group of conditions in which the body's defense system does not work as it should, making it harder to fight infections properly.
How they may present: Frequent infections that are more prolonged or harder to control than expected, as well as slow recovery, are usually a reason for evaluation.
General types: Some forms are present from birth, while others develop over the course of life due to various factors.
Who to see? The immunologist and the infectious disease specialist are the specialists who assess these disorders, with support from the internist or the pediatrician depending on age. When infections recur in an unusual way, discussing it with a professional helps guide the appropriate evaluation.
