I. Auto immune problems occur when the body attacks its own organs or systems.
II. Immune deficiency can be acquired, or primary. (Not all are "known as AIDS" as answer above wrongly states.)
A. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is developed after acquisition of HIV.
B. Primary Immune Deficiency Disease is still being researched, but can be either inherited or caused by chromosomal changes. There are many forms; Please see the Immune Deficiency Foundation website for more information.

What is the difference between an AIDS and autoimmune hepatitis?
AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is a condition that occurs after someone has been infected with HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus.) HIV uses cells associated with immune function for replication and AIDS is not contagious. Hepatitis is a virus that attacks the liver.
Does aids stand for autoImmunodeficiency Syndrome?
AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency. It is caused by a virus. It is not autoimmune. They are they exact opposite. In autoimmunity, the immune system is over active and mistakenly attacks the healthy self. In AIDS the immune system is extremely weakened and attacks next to nothing.
What is acronym for aids?

Difference between auto immune disease and immuno deficiency disease?
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.
Is there difference between acquired immune deficiency and auto immune deficiency?
yes there is a difference Auto immunity is where the body attacks and destroys its self such as Lupus, ITP, RA etc. Aquired immunity is where it is developed through exposure to specific microorganisms, toxins, and/or foreign tissues such as AIDS Constance 9-22-12
What are the two immunodeficiency diseases?
The 2 main types of immune system disorders are Allergies and Asthma. Other types of disorders are autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid Arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.
Are Multiple Sclerosis Crohns and trigger finger all Autoimmune related?
Multiple Sclerosis is thought by some scientists to be an autoimmune disease, but some disagree. Crohn's disease used to be described as an autoimmune disease, but more recent reseach has revealed it to be an immune deficiency state. Trigger Finger is also not an autoimmune disease.
Can hypothyroidism cause SlE?
No lupus is a separate autoimmune disorder. When a patient has an autoimmune disease, the immune system cannot tell the difference between harmful substances and healthy ones. The result is an overactive immune response that attacks otherwise healthy cells and tissue. This leads to chronic inflammation. Patients who have one autoimmune disorder may also have others, like Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.
What is the difference in auto immune deficiency syndrome and acquired immune deficiency syndrome?
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.
This is the first word in the acronym AIDS?
"AIDS" is the acronym for "Acquired Immune Deficiency 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.
What is An immune disorder vs an autoimmune 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.
