Question

What would you predict would be a long-term systemic effect of an immune deficiency disease that drastically reduces the number of T-cells in the body?
Increased susceptibility to infection
Increased number of memory B cells
Increased cytotoxic T-cell counts
Increased nonspecific immune responses

Answer 1

Answer: Option A  

Explanation:

The immune system of the body is made of a variety of cells. The cells producing antibodies "remembers" the infection caused inside the body and helps in providing immunity against it for a very longer duration of time..

The T-cells of the immune system remembers the viruses and contains a number of phagocytotic cells which helps in proving immunity. T- cells also activates B-cells.

So, if the Number of T-cells drastically reduces in number, then the body will be more susceptible to infection.

Answer 2

This is easily " Increased susceptibility to infection". HIV/AIDs is an immune deficiency disease that does the exact same thing.
