Areactivity Immunological

Immunological areactivity is a state of the immune system in which it does not respond to the introduction of an antigen.

This condition can be observed in various pathological processes accompanied by decreased immunity. These include:

  1. Primary immunodeficiencies are congenital diseases caused by defects in the development of the immune system.

  2. Secondary immunodeficiencies are acquired weakening of the immune system due to various diseases (oncology, HIV infection), as well as during treatment with immunosuppressive drugs.

  3. Aging of the body, when there is a natural decrease in the activity of the immune system.

Diagnosis of immunological unresponsiveness is based on skin tests with antigens and assessment of the absence of an immune response.

Treatment consists of treating the underlying disease that has led to decreased immunity, as well as prescribing immunomodulatory drugs. The prognosis depends on the severity and cause of the development of areactivity.



Immunological areactivity (relative hyporeactivity) is a condition of the immune system in which it does not respond to certain antigens that usually cause an immune response. Reactive immunity can be caused by various factors, such as genetics, underlying medical conditions, or side effects of certain medications.

Areactivity is an important problem in medicine, especially in the field of oncology. Many patients with aggressive forms of cancer have low levels of white blood cells and other cells needed to fight infection and other cancer cells. This means that their immunity is not able to adequately fight tumors and infections, and can lead to the rapid development of relapses and metastases.

To treat areactive cancer, doctors use several methods. One of them is the use of chemotherapy, which can kill cancer cells and reduce their number, making it easier for the immune system to work. Other methods include the use of immunomodulators such as interferon or glatiramer acetate, which can stimulate the immune system. However, often these methods do not give the desired result,
