Most DMDs do not suppress the immune system Tysabri can make you more suceptible to the JC virus. Gileyna to herpes. The CRABs do not make you more suseptible to illness. They all have different mechanisms to keep your immune system from attacking your T and B cells. Each works differently. Some block the action, some act as decoys, etc. It is confusing.
Each person with MS is different. I for one am pretty healthy from infections.
it targets specific proteins found on one type of immune system cell called a B cell. It was originally used as chemotherapy for certain types of cancer, but was then found to be effective in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.
At this stage, it can be said that the well-designed research studies that have been done on rituximab, though preliminary (phase II of research), are promising.
All I know is that they are using extreme caution in using Tysabri with any other medication that affects the immune system in the attempt to prevent the usually fatal infection PML. But, IVIG works in a different way by flooding the body with concentrated antibodies to thousands of things, hoping to block the antibody that is doing the harm.
I honestly do not know the answer, but it is an interesting question.

The main thing is to practice good hygiene. I am on Chemo so I really do have a suppressed immune system. I wash my hands all the time. I use a paper towel to open the bathroom door as I exit.

Hi. I have a friend who has a weakend immune system due to medications from a transplant. She is now worried she contracted an STD from her boyfriend who cheated on her. She is not showing any symptoms although she still plans on getting tested. We were curious, however, if she is more likely than a person with a regular immune system to show symptoms or not?
When I get sick with a cold, or any virus that invades my body, my immune system attacks it and I get better. Because I have had HepC for so long, and my immune system has constantly been trying to battle it, doesn't that mean that it has not had the same strength to battle other illnesses at the same time? When I look back, before I knew I hade HepC, everytime I even got a cold, it took me about 2 to 3 weeks to get rid of it and everyone else in my family was over it in 4 to 5 days.
