Whats an immunocompromising disorder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection: There are many diseases which can compromise your immune system. Most of these diseases pre-dispose individuals to certain types of infection (which kind depends on the type of immune deficiency). People with immune compromising conditions are also more likely to develop certain types of cancer.
