FPT of immunoglobulin in foals is the commonest form of acquired immunodeficiency in horses. FPT predisposes foals to bacterial infections and septicemia and easily is preventable and treatable if breeding farms and veterinarians are attentive to optimum foaling management practices. Other forms of acquired immunodeficiencies are uncommon in horses, although immune function may be transiently suppressed by a wide variety of drugs, infections, or other conditions. As immunologic testing becomes more sophisticated and more readily available to equine practitioners, acquired immunodeficiencies are likely to be characterized more frequently in horses.
新生马驹免疫球蛋白缺乏症（FPT）是马获得性免疫缺陷最常见的形式。FPT使新生马驹易患细菌感染和败血症，如果繁殖场和兽医注意最佳产驹管理措施，该病很容易预防和治疗。马的其他形式的获得性免疫缺陷并不常见，尽管免疫功能可能会被多种药物、感染或其他状况短暂抑制。随着免疫检测对马从业者来说变得更加精密且更容易获得，马的获得性免疫缺陷可能会更频繁地被确诊。
