It sounds like this is schoolwork for someone somewhere...without an immune system, our bodies are left undefended against foreign invaders. The first opportunistic pathogen (this could be a virus, a bacterium, a fungus, or a parasite) to infect an individual without an immune system will likely result in this person's death.

That is, someone without an immune system (the body's defense against infection), a person cannot live unless they are completely isolated from any source of infection.

What makes an immune deficiency disorder so dangerous?

Your immune system is responsible for defending the body against viruses and bacteria. Your body is exposed to hundreds of different viruses and bacteria every day but its immune system allows it to kill these threats before they can multiply and cause damage. Most of these threats are killed before they can do any damage at all but some viruses (such as the flu) multiply and attack the body. While you are ill for a few days the body creates a way to kill the threat and you get better from the virus - without an immune system you would not have the necessary cells to overcome an infectious or bacterial illness. If your immune system is damaged (a good example would be HIV/AIDS) the body loses its ability to fight these dangers and as such viruses and bacteria cause damage to the tissues of the body as there is no system working to destroy them.

Here's how it works: HIV is the name of a virus that attacks the immune system, makes it weaker. Eventually the immune system fails completely, which makes the person wide open to any and all diseases. The name for when this happens is AIDS. AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Meaning your immune system has gotten really weakened. Meaning you catch a lot of other diseases easily. Eventually one of them, or several of them working together, is what kills you.
