disease) is a progressive hematologic (blood) disease. It is a cancer of the plasma cell‚ an important part of the immune system that produces immunoglobulins (antibodies) to help fight infection and disease. The immune system is made up of several types of cells that work together to fight infections. Lymph cells (called lymphocytes) are the main type of cell in the adaptive immune system. There are 2 types of lymph cells: T cells and B cells. When B cells respond to an infection‚ they change into

Pneumonia is a particular concern for older adults and people with chronic illnesses or impaired immune systems‚ but it can also strike young‚ healthy people. Worldwide‚ it’s a leading cause of death in children. There are many kinds of pneumonia ranging in seriousness from mild to life-threatening. Although signs and symptoms vary‚ many cases of pneumonia

Rheumatoid arthritis not only causes a joint problem‚ but it can also affect the other organs of the body such as the skin‚ eyes‚ lungs‚ and blood vessels (Miller‚ 2014). Etiology: RA arise from the attacking of immune system to synovium. The synovium is a lining of membrane surrounds the joint. Inflammation causes the thickening of the

This disease has very interesting components that includes a location of where it likes to “live” in the human host‚ distinct symptoms‚ virulence factors that help defend against the host immune system‚ and how it can survive from host to host. All of these factors go into what is necessary to thrive and spread its life‚ however by understanding how this bacteria functions‚ the human population has the ability to learn from it and treat and protect

development of inflammatory plaques on the skin (picture 1A-B). Although early concepts of the pathogenesis of psoriasis focused primarily on keratinocyte hyperproliferation‚ dysregulation of the immune system is now recognized as a critical event in this disease. The evolving knowledge of the role of the immune system in psoriasis has had a significant impact on treatment development. Many new and emerging therapeutic agents target specific immunologic aspects of psoriatic disease. (See"Treatment of psoriasis"
