A new study conducted by researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center has revealed that individuals with weakened immune systems are at a greater risk of developing infectious diseases. The study, which was published in the journal Science, found that the immune systems of immunocompromised individuals have a reduced ability to combat infections, leaving them vulnerable to serious illnesses. The researchers analyzed data from over 400,000 individuals with compromised immune systems, including cancer patients, organ transplant recipients, and those with HIV, and found that these individuals were more likely to contract infections, particularly those caused by bacteria and viruses. The findings highlight the importance of vaccinating immunocompromised individuals and taking additional precautions to protect them from infectious diseases.
