Common variable immune deficiency (CVID) is associated with autoimmune and inflammatory complications in addition to recurrent infections. The most common conditions are idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, sarcoid-like granulomatous disease and gastrointestinal inflammation. IVIG administration reduces the frequency of infections, but does not always prevent autoimmunity or inflammation. TNF antagonists and anti-CD20 immunomodulators have shown some efficacy in CVID in a few patients; further controlled studies are needed to determine the best management of these conditions in the setting of immunodeficiency.
