Re: inf mtniharika - 10-08-09 15:18 Common variable immune deficiency (CVID) is characterized by humoral immune deficiency with onset after 24 months of age and usually in young adulthood, resulting in increased susceptibility to infections and diminished responses to protein and polysaccharide vaccines. The most common infections are sinopulmonary and include Streptococcus pneumonia, Hemophilis influenza, Klebsiella pneumonia, and sometimes mycoplasma infections.
GI infections with Salmonella, Campylobacter, or Giardia occur in about 10% of individuals .
