B cell,not T cell,immunodeficiencies are associated with increased incidence of infection with pyogenic bacteria.In contrast,increased incidence of cancer is most often seen in T cell immunodeficiencies,because T cells are critical for surveillance against oncogenic viruses and the tumors they cause.Defects in cell-mediated immunity lead to infection by viruses and other intracellular microbes.Interestingly,certain immunodeficiencies are associated with increased incidence of autoimmunity;the mechanism for this phenomenon may reflect a deficiency of regulatory T cells that normally serve to maintain self-tolerance.
