Summary Introduction
To describe: How the etiological processes differ in the primary and secondary immune deficiency disorders.
Introduction: The main purpose of the immune system is to keep away and destroy infectious microbes from the body. However, sometimes, the immune system shows a weaker response to these infections or threats from the foreign bodies. Such type of low activity of the immune system is termed as the immune deficiency that has the less ability to fight against the infections.
