What is immunodeficiency syndrome?
This is a group of disorders that affect the immune system and reduce 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 of the condition, as well as how it affects 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, some long-term conditions and treatments, or other environmental factors.

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

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