10. Weakened Immune System
Some people will experience a weakened immune system, and this can leave them more prone to diseases than they otherwise would be. One example of such a disease is lymphoma. There are a number of reasons why somebody’s immune system may be weakened, and they can be dangerous.
One example of a weakened immune system is when the patient is given certain medication to help suppress the system. This tends to happen after an organ transplant and doctors don’t want the organ to be rejected by the immune system. Another example is HIV/AIDS; a well-known condition that attacks the patient’s immune system.
