The 40 pages that link to Immunosuppression, each with the reason it gives.

• InflammationCompared with: It can reduce inflammatory responses, unlike the immune activation that defines inflammation.

• CorticosteroidRelated: This desired effect also raises susceptibility to some infections during corticosteroid treatment.

• Liver transplantationRelated: Recipients need immunosuppressive drugs to reduce rejection of the graft.

• NeuroinflammationCompared with: It can limit damaging inflammation but also weaken defense against infection.

• Opportunistic infectionNarrower topic: Reduced immune function removes checks that ordinarily contain opportunistic pathogens.

• ImmunotherapyCompared with: Some immunotherapies suppress immunity, contrasting with treatments that boost antitumor responses.

• Skin cancerRelated: Weakened immune control raises the risk of several skin cancers.

• DexamethasoneRelated: Dexamethasone’s suppression of immune responses can be therapeutic and hazardous.

• PrednisoneNarrower topic: The intended suppression of immune activity also raises susceptibility to infections.

• GlucocorticoidRelated: Glucocorticoids suppress immune responses, which can control disease but increase infection risk.

• ImmunodeficiencyCompared with: It describes reduced activity or its intentional induction; immunodeficiency names the resulting or underlying inadequate defense.

• XenotransplantationRelated: Recipients may need immune suppression to protect a graft from adaptive rejection.

• Bone-marrow transplantationRelated: Immunosuppressive medicines help prevent or treat donor-cell attacks on recipient tissues.

• SunburnRelated: Ultraviolet exposure can suppress local skin immune responses as well as cause visible burns.

• AzathioprineNarrower topic: Azathioprine is one pharmacological way to reduce immune responses.

• Biologic therapyRelated: Many biologics suppress selected immune pathways, creating infection and other safety risks.

• Oral candidiasisRelated: Weak immune defenses increase the likelihood and severity of oral Candida infection.

• Bacterial meningitisRelated: Reduced immune defenses increase risk from several bacterial causes, including Listeria.

• CyclosporineNarrower topic: Cyclosporine is one pharmacological means of suppressing immune responses.

• Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugNarrower topic: DMARDs are one therapeutic use of immune suppression, though the term covers broader causes and treatments.

• Canine distemperRelated: The virus impairs immune defenses, increasing vulnerability to secondary infections.

• Autoimmune hepatitisRelated: Treatment suppresses the immune attack to reduce liver inflammation and prevent further damage.

• Primary immunodeficiencyCompared with: Treatment-related immune suppression can resemble primary disease while having a different cause.

• SirolimusNarrower topic: Sirolimus lowers immune defenses, increasing susceptibility to infections and some complications.

• BetamethasoneRelated: Betamethasone's anti-inflammatory benefit can also weaken immune defenses and mask infection.

• MethylprednisoloneRelated: Methylprednisolone suppresses immune activity, especially at higher systemic doses.

• Peter MedawarRelated: Medawar’s work clarified why suppressing immune responses could help transplanted tissue survive.

• Thomas StarzlNarrower topic: Starzl combined immunosuppression with transplantation to control attacks on donor organs.

• Christiaan BarnardRelated: The recipient’s immune response threatened the donor heart after the operation.

• CorticosteroneRelated: Elevated glucocorticoid signaling, including corticosterone, can suppress immune activity.

• WartRelated: Warts may be more extensive or persistent when immune defenses are weakened.

• Allogeneic cellsRelated: Suppressing immunity can help allogeneic grafts survive, while increasing infection risk.

• CiclosporinNarrower topic: Ciclosporin is a widely used pharmacological means of producing immunosuppression.

• Herpes esophagitisNarrower topic: Impaired immunity raises the risk of severe or persistent esophageal HSV infection.

• Immune System DiseasesRelated: Many immune system diseases create heightened vulnerability to infection.

• Immune system phenomenaRelated: It is used to prevent graft rejection and control harmful immune activity.

• Infectious bursal diseaseRelated: Loss of developing B cells can weaken responses to vaccination and other infections.

• Joseph E. MurrayRelated: Later kidney transplants relied on suppressing rejection, extending the work begun with genetically identical donors.

• Transplants (medicine)Related: Long-term medication often limits rejection after an allograft.

• Victor ChangRelated: Anti-rejection treatment made long-term survival after Chang’s transplants more achievable.
