Immune dysfunction is a common medical term, is a misuse and indiscriminate use of medical terminology, and relevant content in Chinese medicine is very common medical name for the corresponding English word immune system disorder or immune system dysfunction.
Chinese medical workers like a lot of things are pushed to the immune dysfunction, recently I saw two doctors, said "Long time high fever can cause immune dysfunction," Although there are gynecologists, but also represents a very Great part of the medical workers on the human body's immune system, lack of proper understanding, but likes to show off a little knowledge.
The immune system is the body's defense system, people realized early on the body's own resistance to disease prevention, with the development of modern microbiology and immunology in the 19th century modern booming, from Paul? Ehrlich ( paul Ehrlich) and Ai Liye? Aili He? (Ilya Ilyich Mechnikov) in order to obtain the achievements of immunology 1908 Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine, to the blues? Biyoutele (Bruce Beutle) and Julius Sri Lanka? Hoffman (Jules Hoffmann) to the achievements of the innate immune system of the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine, a hundred years, the understanding of the immune system and deepening update.
The immune system is the last system of the human body system to be discovered, and the immune system-related diseases and the immune system recognize is constantly evolving, and therefore there are a lot of medical workers on the immune system and its function is not a correct understanding. At the same time because the immune function is popular, traditional Chinese medicine and other Alchemy also hoist the banner of the immune function, so that the scientific worldview firm enough people on the immune system and its function in understanding more confusion, and confusion.
Dozens of body cells and hundreds of molecules participate in the immune system, and this number is still evolving, and the emergence of the immune network theory, so that makes people focus on specific immunological problems, while ignoring the most fundamental question : the immune system is a whole, its overall function is very simple, that is what the body is telling me, what is the enemy. The immune system can recognize all the body's cells and tissues, in addition to that is the invasion of the enemy, to be abolished after the identification.
Distinguish friend from foe, my goodness, evil enemy, said normal immune function, can not reach this level, called immune dysfunction.
The local situation changes the immune system, the immune system, certain immune factors and other indicators are not normally known as immune dysfunction is not correct, because the immune function of the overall function of the immune system, immune dysfunction is talking about the overall level of not functioning properly.
Specific immune dysfunction in three ways:
1. immunodeficiency: some departments of the immune system will lose its vitality, and so the reaction ability of the immune system deficiencies. Developed countries the main cause of immune deficiency include obesity, alcohol and drugs in developing countries are mainly nutritional problems. In addition many diseases can cause immune deficiency, it is the most famous of the immune system to attack HIV objects.
2. Autoimmune disease: an overactive immune function, such as my enemy, there has been a lot of fire. The incidence of autoimmune diseases is much higher than expected, the United States reached 1/12, and 1/20, but also heart disease. Autoimmune disease is more common in women, especially women of childbearing age, and family history, environmental factors and microbial infections and ethnic factors.
3. Allergies: AC immune system problems, leading to the immune system has been in a state of stress, can not be closed. Asthma is a representative. Have their own reasons and environmental reasons, for their own reasons to genetic-based, as well as gender, age, race and other factors, there are environmental causes of childhood infectious diseases, environmental pollution, allergen levels and food.
High fever, the common cold and other causes will not cause immune dysfunction, no matter how long time, because the fever itself is a normal immune function, immune system, how can you get the normal function of the damage?
Some symptoms of immune dysfunction and disease may develop fever, but dysfunction earlier, because, after the fever is fruit. As one doctor put it, in medicine there is a clinically important principle is the "first diagnosis, and treatment is given," not to find out the cause and effect relationship, it is impossible to give an effective treatment. Many doctors in the treatment of fever is very radical, for fear of causing immune dysfunction, the root cause lies not understand the cause and effect relationship.
For the public, it is necessary to understand the basics of the immune system, especially from the perspective of the overall understanding of the functions of the immune system, so as not to be misled by the so-called immune dysfunction argument.
