Recurrent Viral Infections
Understanding immune system related symptoms and features
Symptoms may affect multiple parts of the body. Understanding which part of the body a symptom affects, can help us to better understand the potential underlying causes of a symptom, including a rare disease or genetic syndrome.
The immune system is made up of a very complex network of cells and proteins which defend and protect the body against infection. Essentially the immune system is able to remember each and every germ it has defeated before, so should that same germ attack again the body is ready to respond quickly.
Symptoms which affect the immune system may impact on its ability to fight infections, and trigger other medical and health conditions as a result. This can lead to a compromised immune system, recurrent infections and an impact on other parts, systems and functions of the body.
