Auto immune deficiency syndrome is a disorder of the immune system where the system attacks its own cells or tissues making the body susceptible to diseases. Acquired immune deficiency syndrome or more popular as AIDS, on the other hand, is a compromised immune system due to the presence of human immunodeficiency virus infection or HIV. The former is non-communicable, while AIDS is transmittable.

2 chronic diseases of the immune system?
Probably the disease most commonly recognized as a disease of the immune system is Human immunodeficiency virus infection/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS), which is known as a secondary immune deficiency disorder (secondary = caused by something acting on the body, like the HIV virus that causes AIDS, as opposed to being primary = caused by inherited genetic mutations). There are many primary immune deficiency disorders, but these are less well-known, examples are: Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) and Selective Immunoglobulin A Deficiency.Other diseases or disorders that affect the immune system are those that cause autoimmune diseases, such as Lupus Erythematosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, and Pernicious Anemia. These cause the the immune system to get confused and attack your cells as if they are foreign invaders to try to destroy the cells.There are also medications that can affect the immune system to depress the immune response so that people with transplanted organs do not have the immune system attacking the "foreign" organ and creating "rejection".

There are many forms; Please see the Immune Deficiency Foundation website for more information.
What does immune deficiency cause?
Immune deficiency can be caused by any number of infections or conditions. Ultimately, if the body is unable to produce an adequate immune response, infections will last longer and symptoms will be more severe. If immune function continues to worsen, a patient may be at risk of dying if infections reach a critical level.
