· The immune system is the body’s natural defense system that
helps fight infections. When a person’s immune system is
impaired it can not effectively protect against infection.
Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s disease are two major forms of
inflammatory bowel disease that can cause the immune system
to be weakened. Persons with IBD the immune system attacks
the lining of the intestines, causing episodes of diarrhea, rectal
bleeding, urgent bowel movements, abdominal pain, fever, and
weight loss. Oral and injected immune-suppressing medicines
can treat IBD. I have known a couple of people that suffered
from these diseases and what they described about their
condition seemed to be extremely painful often causing them to
become hospitalized for a prolonged period. A very close friend
of mine had 1 foot of his small intestine removed which he
recovered from butt still had flare ups on occasion. In Crohn's
disease, there are healthy parts of the intestine mixed in
between inflamed areas. Ulcerative colitis, on the other hand, is
continuous inflammation of the colon. Ulcerative colitis only
affects the inner most lining of the colon while Crohn's disease
can occur in all the layers of the bowel walls. People with
Crohn’s disease of present symptoms such as diarrhea and pain
in the abdomen followed by a remission in these symptoms
currently aren’t any surgical solutions for this disease. On the
other hand, with Ulcerative Colitis many times the large
intestine can be removed to provide relief but in many cases
there is complications after surgery.
· The immune system is the body's defense against infectious
organisms. The immune system will also protect the body and
help fight off diseases and infections. The system is made up of
cells, tissues and organs. If the immune system is not
functioning correctly it is considered impaired immunity and
the body defense system will weaken. The individual will be
more susceptible to infectious organisms such as viruses,
bacteria, and foreign bodies. In my opinion the most important
type of impaired immunity is autoimmunity. Autoimmunity will
cause someone immune system to attack itself. The body has
difficulty identifying nontoxic antigens, therefore the antibodies
generated are useless. Another important impaired immunity is
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) which is an
immunodeficiency which will harm the individual immune
system; it will destroy the white blood cells that is used to fight
infection. HIV will weaken the immune system and will put the
individual at a major risk for severe infection and different
forms of cancers. Acquire immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
will be the final stage of infection, as a result of HIV. If the
individual is not on medication it can take years before human
immunodeficiency virus to weaken the immune system to the
point where the individual can develop acquired
immunodeficiency virus (AIDS). Being diagnosed with HIV
doesn’t mean they’ll develop acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome (AIDS). There is no cure for HIV or AIDS but there
are medicines that can fight the immunodeficiency and can
lower risk of infecting someone else. If the individual is using
treatment they can live with the disease for a long time. In
conclusion, lack of white blood cells hinders the individual
from strengthening their immune system therefore increasing
the risk of impaired immunities such as autoimmunity and
immunodeficiency.
