Malgravean Immunodeficiency Disorder, widely known as MIDD is a congenital disorder endemic to the human population of Malgrave. Immunodeficiency disorders such as MIDD disrupt the body's immune response and make it easy for the victim to acquire secondary infections. A person infected with MIDD does not typically notice any symptoms until adulthood, when the disease moves swiftly into an 'active' stage eradicating the host's immune system in a matter of days. If allowed to progress the disorder rapidly increases the chance of the infected person developing common infections such as violet fever, as well as other opportunistic infections, and tumors which are rare in people who have normal immune function. The disease is also often noted by unintended weight loss.
