What Are Common Immune System Disorders in Children?
Some children may experience immune system disorders, which can be broadly categorized into:
- Primary Immunodeficiencies: These are genetic conditions where parts of the immune system are missing or do not function properly. Examples include Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) and Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID). - Autoimmune Diseases: Conditions where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own cells. Examples include Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis and Type 1 Diabetes.
