English term or phrase: states that affect cell-mediated immunity are at increased risk.

Hi! everybody!

i really dont understand this sentence. Does the word states mean status?

Patients with disease states that affect cell-mediated immunity are also at increased risk.

Thank you for you help

English translation:conditions

Explanation:
This does not refer to the current status of a disease but to certain (pathological) conditions that will compromise immunity.

For example, patients with AIDS will have compromised immunity, giving them an increased risk of herpes.

Oxford dict defintion of "state":
· n.
1 the condition of someone or something. Ø a physical condition as regards internal or molecular form or structure.
