Immune system diseases

Immune system diseases, such as lupus, multiple sclerosis, and atopic dermatitis, are disorders that affect the body’s immune response, which is crucial for protecting against infections and diseases. These conditions may involve dysfunction in the activation and regulation of immune cells, like T lymphocytes. In autoimmune diseases, the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own cells, while in immunodeficiencies, the system is unable to mount an adequate response against pathogens. These dysfunctions can lead to increased susceptibility to infections, chronic diseases, and damage to healthy tissues, significantly impacting the individual’s health and well-being.
