Diagnosis is based primarily on flowcytometric analysis of neutrophils for the surface expression of CD11, CD18 and CD15s. We describe here a case of a 7-months-old boy who presen...

متن کاملA Rare Cause of Secondary Amyloidosis: Common Variable Immunodeficiency Disease
The common variable immunodeficiency disease (CVID) is the most common symptomatic primary antibody deficiency. It is the most frequently observed cause of panhypogammaglobulinemia in adults. Here, we present a case of systemic amyloidosis that developed secondary to the common variable immunodeficiency disease causing recurrent infections in a young female patient. A 24-year-old female patient...
