What is it

Immunodeficiency (ID) is a term used when the body’s inherent ability to fight infections is either compromised or absent.

This can affect various components of the immune system including lymphocytes, phagocytes, and the complement system1. 

There are two main sub types of immunodeficiency:

1. Primary immunodeficiencies (PID)

2. Secondary imunodeficiency (PID)

In the last few years, the term "inborn errors of Immunity" (IEI) has also been used increasingly in literature.
