Resumo

A imunodeficiência comum variável é uma imunodeficiência primária caracterizada por distúrbios imunológicos heterogéneos, de etiologia desconhecida. As suas manifestações clínicas incluem infecções recorrentes, doenças auto-imunes, hiperplasia linfóide, doenças granulomatosas e neoplasias; pode aparecer em doentes com deficiência de IgA. Os autores apresentam o caso clínico de doente com imunodeficiência comum variável e história de infecções respiratórias de repetição desde os 9 meses, associadas ao aparecimento de bronquiectasias.

Abstract

Common variable immunodeficiency is a primary immune deficiency characterized by heterogeneous immunologic disorders of unknown etiology. Its clinical manifestations include recurrent infections, autoimmune diseases, lymphoid hyperplasia, granulomatous diseases and malignancy. It can appear in patients with immunoglobulin A deficiency. The authors report the clinical case of a patient with common variable immunodeficiency and history of respiratory infections from the age of 9 months old, associated with the appearing of bronchiectasis.
