Late Presentation of Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) in a Patient with Evans Syndrome

Visceral leishmaniasis in a patient with common variable immunodeficiency and evans syndrome: clinical remarks.

Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is a vector-borne zoonosis endemic in Southern Italy whose usual clinical features include fever, splenomegaly, pancytopenia and hypergammaglobulinemia. The clinical and biochemical picture may be misleading in patients with immunodeficiency diseases hampering the diagnosis. We describe a VL case in a patient whose spleen had been removed and who had Common Variable ...

IVIG Anaphylaxis in a patient with Common variable immune deficiency disease (CVID).

Common variable immune deficiency disease (CVID) is one of the most common primary immunodeficiency disorders. It causes reduction of immunoglobulin levels and specific antibodies production and enhancement of recurrent and chronic infections risk, especially respiratory infections and gastrointestinal tracts. Here, we report a case of CVID in a 3 years old male with recurrent hospitalizations ...

Response of refractory ITP in a patient with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) to treatment with rituximab

CVID is the commonest serious antibody deficiency in adults. There are a number of associated complications including autoimmunity, of which immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a relatively common example. ITP usually responds to treatment with corticosteroids, other immunosuppression, splenectomy or high dose intravenous immunologlobulin (IVIG). The management of ITP refractory to these t...

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

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...
