This chapter discusses the physiology of the immune system and its related disorders in the critically ill patient. The causes, complications, and management of the immunocompromised patient is discussed at length, detailing the specific nursing management. It also discusses the management of autoimmune disease such as Wegener's granulomatosis and rheumatoid arthritis, and hypersensitivity reactions such as drug allergy and anaphylactic reaction. Cancer is explained in detail, including its complications, specific therapies such as stem cell transplant, and the role of the cancer patient within critical care.
