Immunity – the state of protection from infectious disease (or) the condition that permits either natural or acquired resistance to disease. The immune system defends our body against invaders such as viruses, bacteria and foreign bodies. They are made up of a network of cells, tissues and organs that work together to protect the body.
What makes our immune system?
One of the important cells involved are phagocytes, white blood cells, also called leukocytes. The white blood cells of the immune system can be categorized as lymphocytes (T-cells, B-cells and NK cells), neutrophils and monocytes/macrophages. The major proteins of the immune system are predominantly signaling proteins (often called cytokines), antibodies and complement proteins.
Know some immune disorders!
Immune system disorders cause abnormally low activity or over activity of the immune system. In cases of immune system over activity, the body attacks and damages its own tissues (autoimmune diseases). Immune deficiency diseases decrease the body’s ability to fight invaders, causing vulnerability to infections.
Autoimmune disease
A disease in which the body’s immune system attacks healthy cells.
Most common types are Rheumatoid arthritis, Psoriasis, vitiligo, multiple sclerosis, Ankylosing spondylitis, Type 1 diabetes, Pernicious anemia etc.
Immune deficiency disorders
Primary immune deficiency diseases are those caused by inherited genetic mutations. Secondary or acquired immune deficiencies are caused by something outside the body such as a virus or immune suppressing drugs.
Primary immune deficiencies aresevere combined immunodeficiency (SCID), Hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome (also known as Job’s Syndrome), Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) etc.
In general children do have less immunity and they often fall ill due to upper respiratory disorders. Acquired/boosted immunity is very much required for children.
