Immune deficiencies that develop in previously immunologically intact individuals are called secondary immunodeficiencies; they are a result of diverse external factors (infections, surgery and trauma, malnutrition, drugs) and a number of human diseases, including malignancy, nephrotic syndrome and protein-losing enteropathy.
