There are many diseases that involve some aspect of the immune system function or malfunction. The most obvious would be Infectious Diseases such as bacterial, viral and parasitic infections.
Hormones affect the immune system, so diseases that disrupt normal hormonal activity can affect the immune system.
Diseases that affect the sleep cycles also can affect the immune system since sleep deprivation has negative impacts on the immune system (e.g., sleep apnea, insomnia, etc.).
Other diseases or disorders of the immune system can manifest with over-activity and some with under-activity of the immune function, some are congenital and some are acquired, some are due to diseases that are damaging to parts of the immune system itself (e.g., Alcoholism, obesity, drug use, malnutrition such as Vitamin D deficiency, etc.), and some diseases are affected by the immune system function or malfunction.
The immune system function can also be modified and affected by the treatment and medication used for some diseases and conditions, such as anti-rejection drugs used in transplants and in autoimmune diseases and anti-neoplastic chemotherapy (cancer treatment) drugs. Another that can damage the immune system function is radiation therapy.
Some examples of immune system diseases and disorders are: HIV/AIDS, systemic Lupus (SLE or systemic lupus erythematosis), and other autoimmune disorders, leukemia, lymphoma and other cancers, mononucleosis, Type 1 diabetes mellitus, Allergies, asthma, Crohn's Disease, MS, Guillan-Barre syndrome.

What can go wrong with a bodies immune systems?
Broadly speaking, you can have an immune system that does not do enough to protect the body from infection, which is called an immune deficiency, and you can also have an overactive immune system that attacks the body's own tissues, which is called an autoimmune disease. Both of these types of problems come in a variety of forms with a variety of causes.
