A FEW COMMON IMMUNE DISEASES
Asthma: A chronic disease that acts on the airways causing them to swell or become sore from inflammation caused by an immune response to an allergic reaction.Distinguished as an autoimmune disease
Mediterranean fever: Characterized by a series of fevers and inflammation. Affects the abdomen and lungs
Crohn's disease: An inflammatory bowel disease that infects the intestines may cause cramping, fever, fatigue, and loss of appetite.
Autoimmune polyglandular syndrome: characterized as an autoimmune disease with multiple endocrine gland insufficiencies.
Burkitt lymphoma: Characterized as rapid growth and swelling in the lymph nodes
Diabetes, type 1: Usually diagnosed in children, insulin-dependent. Without enough insulin glucose is built up within the bloodstream not allowing the body to use glucose for energy.
DiGeorge syndrome: An autoimmune disease that affects the thymus which then affects Tcell production.
Leukemia, chronic myeloid: A cancer that grows slowly with in the bone marrow with the over production of white blood cells but irregular blood cells that don't function correctly.
Each disease is briefly discussed and I look forward to further investigation!
