Q

factors that affect susceptibility

A

white blood cells-being low
patients with splenectomy
age, neonates and older more susceptible
immunization, natural or acquired
fatigue-have a decreased immune response
Nutritional staus-poor nutrition, poor immunity
drug therapy-steriods and chemotherapy suppress immune system
stress- mores tree, poor immune system
use of invasive or indwelling medical Devices- makes port of entry easy for pathogens
