Z92. 25 - Personal history of immunosuppression therapy. ICD-10-CM.
Immunodeficiency disorders impair the immune system's ability to defend the body against foreign or abnormal cells that invade or attack it (such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and cancer cells). As a result, unusual bacterial, viral, or fungal infections or lymphomas.
An immunodeficiency is an impairment of the immune system, whereas an autoimmune disease is when the immune system attacks the body's healthy cells, tissues and organs. However, studies have found that there often is a connection between immunodeficiencies and autoimmune diseases.
When your immune system fails to respond adequately to infection, it's called an immunodeficiency, and you may be immunocompromised. People may also suffer from the opposite condition, an overactive immune system that attacks healthy cells as though they were foreign bodies, and that is called an autoimmune response.
