Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Immunodeficiency diseases involve the partial or complete disruption of the immune system, resulting in the inability of the body to protect itself from pathogens. AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) and SCID (Severe Combined Immunodeficiency) are examples of immunodeficiency diseases that involve the destruction of B and T cells, which are important components of the immune system. Allergic reactions involve an overreaction of the immune system to harmless substances, autoimmune diseases involve the immune system attacking the body's own tissues, histocompatibility rejections involve the immune system attacking transplanted tissues, and inflammatory diseases involve chronic inflammation in the body.
