The phrase "avoid immunodeficiency" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to health, medicine, or discussions about diseases, particularly when discussing ways to prevent conditions that weaken the immune system.
Example: "To maintain a healthy lifestyle, it is essential to avoid immunodeficiency by following a balanced diet and getting regular exercise."
Alternatives: "prevent immune deficiency" or "steer clear of immunodeficiency".
Many viruses that cause chronic viremic infections, such as human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), mutate extensively to avoid effective control by the host immune system.
In order to avoid confusion bias, we excluded patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or aplasia at admission.
Furthermore, to avoid including patients with healthcare-associated infections, which require specific treatment approaches, we excluded patients with immunodeficiencies, COPD or chronic dialysis as well as patients admitted from long-term healthcare facilities.
In order to avoid unnecessary stigma, males deemed clinically fit to undergo surgery, who do not show signs of the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), are eligible to receive MC services.
Infants suspected of having a severe immunodeficiency disorder should be placed in protected isolation, limiting the numbers of persons involved with care; specifically, individuals with respiratory or gastrointestinal symptoms of infection should avoid contact.
In addition, live viral vaccines should be avoided in patients with severe immunodeficiency.
In a second step, regenerative therapies with cells labeled with the same marker gene can be tested in the complete absence of immune-mediated rejection in immunocompetent hosts, avoiding the limitations of experiments with immunodeficient SCID (severe combined immunodeficiency) mice or immunosuppressed animals.
A 17-month-old boy in whom immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (ITP) was the presenting manifestation of infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is being successfully managed with intermittent high-dose intravenous gamma globulin (IVIG) allowing maintenance of hemostatic platelet counts while avoiding the immunosuppression associated with other therapeutic modalities used to treat ITP.
Work on HIV and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) has shown that viral evolution in the brain is peculiar in that this immunologically privileged site allows a low level of viral replication [ 13] before disease onset [ 46], but it may be considered a "sanctuary" where the virus can evolve freely, avoiding the effects of adaptive immunity and/or therapy [ 12].
The only possible way of avoiding this would be permanently (with an integrating vector) to transfect the stem cells of the airways; 18 such cells are difficult to reach, being buried beneath the surface and there are justifiable concerns over the use of integrating vectors, which have been shown to induce oncogenesis in gene therapy trials for severe immunodeficiencies.
