What is a predominant cause of secondary immune deficiencies worldwide? - ANS-Malnutrition
An example of a secondary immunodeficiency is? - ANS-HIV, Pneumocystic Carnii, Pneumonia,
Sinus Infection, Lung Cancer.
An example of a primary immunodeficiency is? - ANS-Chronic Granulomatous Disease of

Mediterranean Fever.
Immunodeficiencies are classified as either: - ANS-Primary or Secondary.
Primary Immunodeficiency - ANS-_________ are genetically determined, which means that
there is a genetic defect that results in the loss of essential cells of the immune system.
Secondary Immunodeficiency - ANS-_________ is caused by something external to the
immune system. For example, when an individual takes a chemotherapeutic agent to treat
cancer, this can result in immunodeficiency
Chronic granulomatous Disease of Childhood - ANS-Primary
DiGeorge Syndrome - ANS-Primary
Human Immunodeficiency Virus - ANS-Secondary

Familial Mediterranean fever - ANS-Primary
Pneumonia - ANS-Secondary
Job Syndrome - ANS-Primary
