THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF IMMUNITY

Everyone is different. Really. Each person is made up of unique cells, atoms and molecules. Each one of us has a different genetic make up, and that is what makes all of us unique. It makes all the more challenging for the practitioners of medicine to cure! Our immune system is an integral structure in our body, which protects us against diseases. It is what keeps your common cold from escalating into full-fledged pneumonia.
To think what would happen if our immune system gets compromised is certainly unnerving. Basically, it is the defense system of the body. Clinical immunology studies the very diseases that affect our disease fighting mechanism. Intriguing, indeed! There are different types of immunology, ranging from immunotherapy, cancer immunology, diagnostic immunology, to reproductive immunology. Different types of diseases affect the immune system differently. Allergies are also a type of immune disorder, though they may not seem so important while looking at the bigger picture. However, no immune disorder is too small, as one minor complication can be responsible for a collapse in our entire human body function. Therefore, it is important to be aware of one’s allergies and not ignore certain medical conditions or implications of impending problems. By - Sukanya
