چکیده
Background Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is one of the most common primary immunodeficiency in adults and is characterized by defective antibody production, low levels of serum immunoglobulins and increased susceptibility to infection. About 20% of developed different gastrointestinal pathology. But also the pathology of the gastrointestinal tract in patients with CVID showed a wide spectrum of histological patterns which could mimic many conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease.

Because his condition didn’t improve, more work-ups were performed and the radiologic work-ups revealed the diagnosis of a missed intussusception with fistula.We suggest that prolonged intussusception should be considered in the list of differential ...

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.

To cite: Jabbari E, Marshall CR, Longhurst H, et al. Pract Neurol 2015;15:49–52. INTRODUCTION Transverse myelitis requires careful investigation, as although many causes respond acutely to immunomodulation, the longer term management depends upon its precise cause. We describe a patient presenting acutely with a corticosteroidresponsive longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis and granuloma...
متن کاملImmunopathogenesis of granulomas in chronic autoinflammatory diseases
Granulomas are clusters of immune cells. These structures can be formed in reaction to infection and display signs of necrosis, such as in tuberculosis. Alternatively, in several immune disorders, such as sarcoidosis, Crohn's disease and common variable immunodeficiency, non-caseating granulomas are formed without an obvious infectious trigger. Despite advances in our understanding of the human...
