- Patients with natural killer (NK) cell deficiency suffer from frequent infections, especially lung infections and herpes virus infections.
- There is also evidence suggesting that patients with NK cell deficiency have an increased risk of developing cancer. This is because NK cells are the body's first line of defense against cancerous growths in the body. Some studies also suggest that cancer patients with NK cell deficiency may not respond as well to treatments as patients who do not have the disorder.
