It is believed that most cancers are due to some breakdown in the immune system. Several type of lymphomas and leukemias are being treated with Immunotherapy. Certain drugs used to attack and destroy only the bad cells that our compromised immune system cannot.

Several diseases are caused by immune disorders. Alopecia - where the hair falls out in clumps - may well be caused by an immune disorder.
An immune disorder refers to any condition that affects the immune system's ability to function properly, which can result in increased susceptibility to infections or the immune system being overactive. An autoimmune disorder, on the other hand, is a specific type of immune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own healthy cells and tissues, leading to inflammation and damage. Examples of autoimmune disorders include rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. Essentially, all autoimmune disorders are immune disorders, but not all immune disorders are autoimmune in nature.
FeLV stands for Feline Leukemia Virus, a retrovirus that causes leukemia in infected cats and undermines their immune systems.
Any disorder affecting immunity is called as immune system disorder. Now most common cause for the same is HIV infection.
HIV primarily targets CD4+ T cells, which are crucial for orchestrating the immune response by helping activate B cells and cytotoxic T cells. In leukemia, particularly acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), abnormal proliferation of lymphoid progenitor cells affects various immune cells, including B and T lymphocytes, leading to impaired immune function. Both conditions compromise the body's ability to mount effective immune responses, increasing susceptibility to infections and impacting overall immunity.
