Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a group of inherited immune system disorders. Infants born with SCID do not gain weight or grow at a healthy rate, which doctors call failure to thrive. An infant with SCID will have a lot of severe bacterial, viral, or fungal infections that often keep coming back after they are treated with drugs.
