A study of cancer incidence in the most common immunodeficiency, common variable immunodeficiency (CVID)

Autoimmunity and infection in common variable immunodeficiency (CVID).

Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a heterogeneous group of diseases, characterized by primary hypogammaglobulinemia. B and T cell abnormalities have been described in CVID. Typical clinical features of CVID are recurrent airway infections; lymphoproliferative, autoinflammatory, or neoplastic disorders; and autoimmune diseases among which autoimmune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is the most co...

Co-existence of Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) with Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)

Clinical and Immunological Spectrum of Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID).

We have analysed data from 150 patients initially classified as having CVID. About 10% had laboratory abnormalities suggesting known single gene disorders (eg: hyper-IgM syndrome), and in a few a genetic defect has been confirmed. We have attempted to sub-classify the remaining patients by analysis of their circulating lymphocytes. B lymphocyte markers have been used to estimate the numbers of ...

Common variable immunodeficiency.

We describe a patient with common variable immunodeficiency who three times presented an anaphylactic reaction after intravenous immunoglobulin administration. These reactions were attributed to the total absence of IgG 2, 3 and 4.
