Immunosuppressive
The term immunosuppressive refers to a treatment that reduces the activity of the immune system. It reduces the ability of the body to fight infections and to fight against foreign bodies or other disorders.
Immunosuppressive therapy is generally induced and used in an organ transplant to prevent the body from rejecting the transplanted organ.
Immunosuppressive therapy is most commonly used in case of applying skin grafts or after bone marrow transplantation. This treatment can also be used to treat conditions in which the immune system is hyperactive, such as autoimmune diseases and allergies.
Non-deliberate immunosuppression may occur in certain chronic infections, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The undesirable effect in non-deliberate immunosuppression is immunodeficiency which leads to increased sensitivity to pathogens such as bacteria and viruses.
