Immunodeficiency, also known as immunocompromise, is a state in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious diseases and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. Most cases are acquired ("secondary") due to extrinsic factors that affect the patient's immune system. Examples of these extrinsic factors include HIV infection and environmental factors, such as nutrition. Immunocompromisation may also be due to genetic diseases/flaws such as SCID.

Con il termine immunodeficienza si fa riferimento ad una categoria diagnostica caratterizzata da un deficit dell'immunità umorale e/o dell'immunità cellulare che comprende una serie di entità patologiche distinte le une dalle altre sia sul piano eziologico che patogenetico. In generale le immunodeficienze derivano da alterazioni di diverso tipo a carico sia dei componenti della (umorale e cellulo-mediata), che innata (principalmente sistema del complemento e dei fagociti mononucleati).
