Common variable immunodeficiency, abbreviated CVID, is a group of genetic disorders characterized by deficient antibody production.
General
Features:[1]
- Recurrent sinus and pulmonary infections.
- Inflammatory bowel disease-like disease.
Gross
Duodenum:
- Nodular mucosa - due to lymphoid hyperplasia.
Microscopic
Features - general:
- Plasma cells absent (or reduced) - key feature.[1]
- +/-Lymphoid aggregates.
DDx:
Features by site in the GI tract:[2]
| 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 |
