Spine Injury Patients At High Risk for Immunodeficiency – Neuroscience News

It shows an outline of a person with the spinal cord highlighted.

Summary: Patients recovering from severe spinal cord injuries are more prone to immune deficiencies. Such a deficiency, known as spinal cord injury-induced immune deficiency syndrome, can expose patients to life-threatening infections. This immune deficiency is closely related to the severity of spinal cord injury and can further impair the immune system. This research could pave … Read more
