Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID)

Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) is a type of immune system disorder where the body does not produce enough antibodies, which are essential for fighting infections. This condition can lead to frequent infections, especially in the lungs and sinuses, as well as autoimmune disorders where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues. Symptoms often appear in adolescence or adulthood. Treatment typically involves regular infusions of immunoglobulin to help boost the immune response and manage infections, enabling individuals to lead healthier lives. Regular medical care is important to monitor and address associated health issues.
