Long-term use of corticosteroids, immune-suppressive or cytotoxic agents, and prolonged antibiotic therapy may increase the patient's susceptibility to infection and delayed wound healing. Patients may become infected by either common or opportunistic organisms. Malnutrition, renal failure, and diabetes ...

The loss of body weight in CYP-treated mice following RSV infection compared to untreated control mice confirmed that CYP-treatment increased the susceptibility to RSV infection at lower inocula. This finding that permissiveness to RSV can be augmented by rendering mice immunocompromised is significant...
A leading and widely discussed hypothesis suggested the prolonged infection in immunocompromised patients as the potential source of new variants contributing to global spread [19, 20]. The current study provided insight into the potential within-host evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in two immunocompromised ...
associated with reduced susceptibility to several monoclonal antibodies [20,21,22,23,24], and T30I in E has been indicated as a potential marker of long-term SARS-CoV-2 infections, being one of the most frequent occurring arising mutation in persistent infection in immunocompromised patients but...

I have accepted these limitations and have incorporated the precautions necessary in my daily life. My most serious problem is my cancer and susceptibility to life-threateninginfections and other cancers--Covid-19 is just one more deadly infection (in a long list of others). ...
autoimmune disease is due to the immune system mistakenly attacking healthy cells in the body. On the other hand, immunocompromised is due to a weak immune system that fails to respond to an infection or disease adequately. Thus, this is the key difference between autoimmune disease and ...
Immunocompromised subjects develop pneumonias caused by the usual pathogens causing both community and hospital acquired pneumonia, and also due to infection with one of the three classic respiratory pathogens of immunosuppression, cytomegalovirus (CMV), Aspergillus sp. (usually A. fumigatus), or ...
