impaired immune system
2006-08-05 22:01:56 · update #1
When your immune system is impaired (immunocompromised), you're at risk of infection. Your risk of serious illness or even death is much greater than a healthy person's. Your immune system can't as easily recognize and fight off bacteria, viruses or other germs the way a healthy immune system can.
That means you have to take extra precautions.

An impaired immune system does not work properly and cannot effectively protect a person against infection.

When your immune system is weakened by illness or treatment, you're at greater risk of severe complications — even death — from infection. Vaccinations offer protection when your immune system comes into contact with certain germs it can't handle....
