| immunodeficiency | Inabillity to mount a normal immune response. Immunodeficiency can be due to a genetic disease or acquired as in aids due to HIV. (12 Dec 1998) |
| immunodeficiency disorders | <radiology> B-cell (antibody) deficiency: high-grade pathogens: pneumococcus, strep, H. Flu, chronic sinopulmonary disease, usual survival to adulthood, T-cell (cellular) deficiency: low-grade pathogens: fungi, viruses, Pneumocystic, growth retardation, diarrhoea, delayed anergy, short life-span, susceptible to graft vs. Host (GvH) disease, e.g.: DiGeorge syndrome, Nezelhof syndrome Note: increased risk of malignancy (12 Dec 1998) |
| immunodeficiency syndrome | <syndrome> An immunological deficiency or disorder, of which the chief symptom is an increased susceptibility to infection, the pattern of susceptibility being dependent upon the kind of deficiency. See: immunodeficiency. (05 Mar 2000) |
| immunodeficiency virus, bovine | A species of lentivirus, subgenus bovine lentiviruses (lentiviruses, bovine), found in cattle and causing lymphadenopathy, lymphocytosis, central nervous system lesions, progressive weakness, and emaciation. It has immunological cross-reactivity with other lentiviruses including HIV. (12 Dec 1998) |
| immunodeficiency virus, feline | A species of lentivirus, subgenus feline lentiviruses (lentiviruses, feline) isolated from cats with a chronic wasting syndrome, presumed to be immune deficiency. There is no antigenic relationship between fiv and HIV, nor does fiv grow in human T-cells. (12 Dec 1998) |

| secondary | Second or inferior in order of time, place or importance, derived from or consequent to a primary event or thing. Origin: L. Secundarius, secundus = second (18 Nov 1997) |
