Cytomegalovirus Colitis with Common Variable Immunodeficiency and Crohn’s Disease

Cytomegalovirus Colitis with Common Variable Immunodeficiency and Crohn's Disease

Here we present an eleven-year-old male patient who had been diagnosed with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) three years ago due to recurrent sinopulmonary infections. Two years later he had been diagnosed with Crohn's disease (CD) due to diarrhea episodes which were unresponsive to the treatment. Depending on the active gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation he underwent total colect...

Hodgkin's disease and common variable immunodeficiency.

Common variable immunodeficiency misdiagnosed as Crohn Disease

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 s...

response to polysaccharide vaccination amongst pediatric patients with common variable immunodeficiency correlates with clinical disease

common variable immunodeficiency (cvid) is a heterogeneous group of disorders, characterized by hypogammaglobulinemia and increased susceptibility to recurrent infections, autoimmunity and malignancies. we have previously shown that some pediatric patients with cvid can respond to meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine. twelve pediatric cases with cvid were re-evaluated to determine whether bacte...
