37
Q

ways bacteria avoids immune system

A

rapid multiplication, protective and mimicking coating, inhibiting lysosome binding, inactivate digestion, and invading phagocytes to trigger explosion of cell

38
Q

Endotoxic shock

A

septic shock caused by endotoxins released from LPS in gram-negative bacteria resulting in multi-organ failure and death

39
Q

primary immune deficiency

A

genetically-linked, present early in life, mold ones unusual, severe ones very rare

40
Q

secondary immune deficiencies

A

more common and acquired from disease and nutritional deficiencies
