Meaning:
Immunodeficiency refers to a condition in which the body's immune system is weakened or compromised, making it more susceptible to infections and diseases.
Origin:
The term "immunodeficiency" was first coined in the late 1950s during research on children with severe and recurrent infections. These children were found to have a specific type of immune deficiency characterized by the absence of certain immune cells, such as antibodies or T-cells. This discovery led to the development of treatments to manage these conditions and improve the health outcomes of affected individuals.
