Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent give accurate general information on immunodeficiency, recognise urgent situations for immunocompromised people, explain types and management in general terms, and point to specialist care and support without individual medical advice.

A state in which the immune system ability to fight infection and disease is reduced or absent, either primary and inherited, as in many rare genetic syndromes, or secondary and acquired through conditions such as HIV infection, cancer treatment, transplantation medicines or malnutrition; immunodeficiency increases susceptibility to infections and some cancers and is managed by specialist care.

What it is for: A group of conditions requiring specialist care.

It can be explain primary and secondary immunodeficiency; recognise urgent situations; explain management and precautions in general terms; find specialist centres and patient organisations.

Distinguishing features

Reduced immune function

Primary or secondary

Infection susceptibility

Specialist management

What it looks like

Not physical; a diagnosis from history and immune testing.

How it is recognised

Recurrent, severe or unusual infections

Inherited or acquired

Autoimmunity is an overactive rather than deficient response
