Immune dysregulation is any proposed or confirmed breakdown or maladaptive change in molecular control of immune system processes. For example, dysregulation is a component in the pathogeneses of autoimmune diseases and some cancers, to the extent that the pathophysiology is understood to date. Immune system dysfunction, as seen in IPEX syndrome leads to immune dysfunction, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked (IPEX). IPEX typically presents during the first few months of life with diabetes mellitus, intractable diarrhea, failure to thrive, eczema, and hemolytic anemia. unrestrained or unregulated immune response.[1]

Some versions of the concept are pseudo-scientific, and some are scientifically controversial. For example, chronic fatigue syndrome is not yet sufficiently understood and some of the approaches to understanding it are less scientific than others but may be wrapped in scientific-sounding terminology.
