Examples of Immunodeficiency disorders (IMDC) include common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID), and Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome. These disorders affect the body's ability to fight off infections due to a compromised or absent immune system. Treatment often involves strategies to prevent infections and boost the immune system.
SCID is thought to affect between one in every 100,000 persons, and one in every 500,000 infants. Children with SCID are vulnerable to recurrent severe infections, retarded growth, and early death.
