Question

What is usually the leading cause of death in immunocompromised patients?
A) Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
B) Diabetes
C) Infections
D) Congestive heart failure

Accepted Answer

Immunocompromised patients have a weakened immune system, which puts them at a higher risk for infections. Infections are usually the leading cause of death in these patients, as they may not be able to fight off the infection as effectively as someone with a healthy immune system.
