What is immunodeficiency syndrome?

This is a group of disorders affecting the immune system, reducing the body's ability to defend itself from infections and other diseases. A person can be born with such a condition (congenital) or acquire it (acquired). The severity and impact on the immune system can vary widely depending on the cause. Congenital conditions are usually due to inherited gene mutations, while acquired conditions can be caused by drugs, infections, long-term conditions and treatments, or other environmental factors.

Symptoms of immunodeficiency syndrome

  • Fever

  • Repeated episodes of fever above 100.4°F / 38°C

  • Muscle pain

  • Headache

  • Fever of at least 100.4°F / 38°C that continues for 7 or more days

  • Fatigue

  • Cough

Questions your doctor may ask to check for immunodeficiency syndrome

Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose immunodeficiency syndrome

  • Do you have a fever?

  • Have you had repeated fevers of 100.4°F / 38°C or higher?

  • Do you have any muscle pain?

  • Do you have headaches or does your head feel heavy?

  • Are you having continuous fever of 100.4°F / 38°C or higher over more than last 7 days?

Treatment for immunodeficiency syndrome

Treatment varies depending on the cause and involves preventing infection where possible, treating infections quickly, supplementing or strengthening the immune system, and treating the underlying cause if possible. In certain cases, a bone marrow transplant may be performed to restore the body's ability to produce healthy immune cells.
