14. Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) related infections

Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) is a condition where the immune system doesn’t produce enough antibodies, making it harder for the body to fight infections. People with CVID are more susceptible to respiratory infections like pneumonia, sinusitis, and bronchitis, as well as gastrointestinal infections and some autoimmune diseases. They may also have trouble warding off certain viruses and bacteria that typically wouldn’t cause illness in healthy individuals. Regular medical care, including immunoglobulin therapy, can help manage these risks and improve overall health.
