Mandatory risk factor is the time of deficiency of minerals in the body. The absence or decline of certain vitamins always has a negative impact on the immune protection of the organism.
Often factor of immunosuppression is the treatment of another disease, which is accompanied by antibiotics, or steroid medications, which are always one of the side effects and drop defenses.
