What are 3 diseases associated with the immune system?

I know AIDS and Leukemia are two immune diseases or disorders (i'm sot sure what the proper word here is) but any other diseases would be helpful.

Off the top of my head, I can think of a few autoimmune diseases such as Crohn's disease (attacks the gut), Multiple Sclerosis (affects the central nervous system), lupus (affects multiple organs), rheumatoid arthritis (primarily affects joints).

Allergies and asthma are also disorders associated with the immune system.

HIV progresses to AIDS.

HIV

Tetanus aka Lockjaw

that's another (hence that you have to get a shot every 10 years for it)

Celiac Disease
Lupus
Rheumatoid arthritis

Grave's disease
Hashimoto's thyroiditis
Lupus
Rheumatoid arthritis
Asthma
