Abstrakt: Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is one of the most common groups of human inborn errors of immunity. In addition to infections resulting from insufficient levels of immunoglobulins and antibodies, a significant proportion of patients develop autoimmune cytopenias, especially immune thrombocytopenia, hemolytic anemia, or neutropenia. They may be the initial manifestation of CVID in a patient who has not had significant infections, and similar episodes may recur at intervals over time. Treatment of these hematologic complications includes the use of corticosteroids or other medications, often including rituximab; splenectomy is discouraged. Here we outline the overall occurrence of these blood cytopenias in a cohort of 408 patients, as well as the clinical and genetic associations noted in these individuals.
