Short Note on Immune System Disorders

Liang Wing

Immune system disorders result in abnormally low or excessive
immune system activity. Overactive immune systems cause the
body to attack and harm its own tissues (autoimmune diseases).
Immune deficiency diseases reduce the body's ability to defend
against intruders, making it more susceptible to infection. The
immune system may produce antibodies that, instead of
defending infections, attack the body's own tissues in reaction to
an unknown stimulus. The goal of autoimmune disease
treatment is to reduce immune system activity.
