Detailed explanation-1: -The American Academy of Allergy Asthma & Immunology reports that signs of a possible immune deficiency in adults include: Having more than four ear infections in one year. Developing pneumonia twice during a one-year period. Suffering from chronic sinusitis or more than three episodes of bacterial sinusitis in a year.

Detailed explanation-2: -Some people who are immunocompromised (have a weakened immune system) are more likely to get sick with COVID-19 or be sick for a longer period. People can be immunocompromised either due to a medical condition or from receipt of immunosuppressive medications or treatments.

Detailed explanation-3: -When your immune system is weakened, your body can’t fight off viruses, bacteria, or fungi very well. This can lead to serious infections and can pose a major health risk.

Detailed explanation-4: -But while your immune system won’t have any specific “memory” of the virus, it will mount an immune response if you are infected-because that’s how your immune system works. Coming into contact with germs spurs an immune response, but it doesn’t do anything to make your immune system stronger.

Detailed explanation-5: -Frequent and recurrent pneumonia, bronchitis, sinus infections, ear infections, meningitis or skin infections. Inflammation and infection of internal organs. Blood disorders, such as low platelet count or anemia. Digestive problems, such as cramping, loss of appetite, nausea and diarrhea.
