چکیده
Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is the commonest primary immunodeficiency disease, which is characterized by frequent bacterial infections and hypogammaglobulinaemia. The prevalence of CVID is estimated at 1:25,000 in the Western world. Men and women are affected equally with a peak onset between 20 and 40 years. There is an average of 4–6 years between onset of symptoms and diagnosis. The commonest manifestation of CVID is recurrent bronchitis. We report a case of a patient whose first presentation of CVID was an inguinal swelling, which was secondary to reactive lymphadenopathy.
