Guide To The Causes, Risk Factors, And Transmission Of Ringworm

Weak Immune System

Evidence shows that individuals with weak immune systems are more likely to contract a ringworm infection. In addition, a weak immune system may also allow the infection to thrive quite significantly before patients are able to seek treatment. Many conditions result in a weak immune system. However, an individual's immune system can weaken for several other reasons, such as increased stress. An underdeveloped immune system, such as in children, can also be weak. When an individual's immune system is weak, it becomes exhausted easier and cannot fight off potential infections. This is why immunocompromised patients who have ringworm also tend to have this condition longer, even when they are receiving treatment.
