What is immune disorder in immunology?

Posted August 26, 2024


Answer

In immunology, immune disorder refers to a malfunction of the immune system. It can be caused by several different factors. 

Immune disorders are divided into three main categories, based on the affected components, whether the malfunction is caused by overactivity or underactivity, and whether the malfunction is congenital or acquired.
