[Therapeutically induced immunodeficiency].
Therapeutically induced immundefects principally can be the result of pathophysiological influences on autoimmune diseases by immunomodulation on the one hand or loss of resistance against bacteria, fungi or viruses as a consequence of immunomodulation on the other hand. Further complications such as increasing incidence of neoplasms after long-term therapy, hypersensitivity reactions, especially damage of bone marrow, can be recognised after application of many different drugs. The immunesuppressive drugs are discussed in detail.
