Common variable immunodeficiency, abbreviated CVID, is a group of genetic disorders characterized by deficient antibody production.
General
Features:[1]
- Recurrent sinus and pulmonary infections.
- Pneumonia seen in ~1/3 of ~2200 patients.[2]
- Splenomegaly seen in ~25% of ~2200 patients.[2]
- Inflammatory bowel disease-like disease.
- Often diagnosed in adulthood ~ mean age 43+/-14 years.[3]
Labs in a series of 8 patients:[3]
- IgG 2.5 +/-0.6 g/L.
- IgA 0.23 +/-0.1 g/L.
- IgM 0.17 +/-0.1 g/L.
Gross
Duodenum:
- Nodular mucosa - due to lymphoid hyperplasia.
Microscopic
Features - general:
- Plasma cells absent (or reduced) - key feature.[1]
- +/-Lymphoid aggregates.
- +/-Granulomatous disease ~8-22%.[4]
DDx:
Features by site in the GI tract:[5]
| Site | Features |
|---|---|
| Esophagus | intraepithelial PMNs & candida +/-abundant intraepithelial lymphocytes |
| Stomach | lack of plasma cells (~2/3 of individuals), lymphoid aggregates (common), +/-lymphocytic gastritis, +/-intraepithelial neutrophils, +/-infections (CMV, H. pylori, cryptosporidium) |
| Small bowel | villous blunting (>80% of individuals), decreased plasma cells (~2/3 of individuals), lymphoid aggregates (~1/2 of individuals), +/-neutrophils + infections (CMV, cryptosporidium) |
| Large bowel | decreased plasma cells, lymphoid aggregates, +/-apparent apoptosis |
