Summary

Introduction

In man and other animals, nutrition and nutritional status can have profound effects on immune functions, resistance to infection and autoimmunity. Nutritional immunology altered supply of nutrients modifies immune response. Depending on the nutrient and level of its intake nutrients enhance or depress immune function. A drug-nutrient interaction is the effect of a medication on food or a nutrient in food [3]. Medications interact with foods and nutrients in several ways. On the bases of the above definition, this paper aims to address the current research outputs of nutritional management of immunogenic disease and drug-nutrient interactions. Nutrients can boost or depressed the immunity depending on the food nutrient and levels of intake. It can cause immunological disorder disease like Allergy, Asthma autoimmune diseases, HIV/AIDS, Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Celiac, Type I diabetics. A drug- nutrient interaction is the effect of medication on nutrients
