Refers to an immune system incapable of fighting disease.

The state of having a deficient immune response either due to a primary immune disorder or to administration of immunosuppressive agents.


Having an immune system that is incapable of a normal, full reaction to pathogens or tissue damage, as the result of a disease (e.g., diabetes mellitus, overwhelming sepsis, or the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) or drug therapy with agents that inhibit components of the immune system.
