If the immune system is underactive, the body has less power to fight off harmful substances such as bacteria and viruses.
Yes, immune disorders can result from both underactive and overactive immune systems. An underactive immune system, known as immunodeficiency, can lead to increased susceptibility to infections, while an overactive immune system can cause autoimmune diseases, where the body mistakenly attacks its own tissues. Both conditions disrupt the normal functioning of the immune system, leading to various health issues.

Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own cells and tissues, leading to conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. In contrast, immunodeficiency diseases result from a weakened immune system that fails to effectively combat infections, which can be due to genetic factors (like SCID) or acquired factors (like HIV/AIDS). Essentially, autoimmune diseases involve an overactive immune response, while immunodeficiency diseases involve an underactive one.
