The majority of
CVID patients present with recurrent, acute, or chronic respiratory tract infections such as sinusitis, bronchitis, and pneumonia.
The percentages of TNFRSF13B mutations and SNPs in
CVID patients were 7.1% and 40%, respectively.
Differential diagnosis included (a) rituximab-induced hypogammaglobulinemia, (b) unmasking of
CVID by rituximab, and (c) lymphoma.
Approximately 20-30% of
CVID patients develop autoimmune disorders, and this may be the first manifestation of
CVID in patients who have no remarkable history of recurrent or severe infections.
Aside from patients with SCID, patients with B cell-mediated PIDs such as XLA and
CVID have been reported to excrete VDPVs (14,25,28).
The diagnosis of
CVID syndrome was established with immunocytochemical tests.
(7) that involved a total of 13 patients with
CVID, SNHL was found to be present at higher frequencies (>8 kHz), although they concluded that further comparative studies in larger sample populations are warranted for better elucidation of their results.
The working diagnosis of
CVID could not be confirmed in accordance with current diagnostic criteria (available at http://esid.org/Working-Parties/Registry/Diagnosis-criteria/) due to a lack of data on our patients' vaccination responses and isohemagglutinin titer levels.
Upper respiratory tract infection alone was not found in children diagnosed with common variable immune deficiency; the rate of
CVID was found with a rate of 6.8% in children who were diagnosed with URTI and other diagnoses in association and this rate was found to be statistically significantly higher compared to the children with other PID diagnoses and in children in whom PID was not found (p<0.05).
* Anaemia may suggest autoimmune haemolytic anaemia, which may occur in common variable immune deficiency (
CVID), or anaemia of chronic disease.
