Module Overview In this module, we discuss key pathophysiologic mechanisms of atopic dermatitis, such as barrier dysfunction, bacterial over-colonization, and immune dysregulation. We’ll also highlight some of the pathophysiologic mechanisms that serve as treatment targets. The specialists who diagnose and treat immune system disorders are called . immunologists. , and the specialty itself is called . immunology. .. Phagocytes. Phagocytes are often the first immune system cells . HIV. (Human immunodeficiency virus)- a virus that attacks the immune system.. Infection with HIV can be prevented. Responsible decisions is the most valuable tool for protection against HIV.. Example: Abstinence from sexual activity and injecting drugs reduce your risk..
