Özet
Introduction: Patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) have been shown to be more predisposed to develop allergic diseases because of mucosal immune defects and immune dysregulation. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence, and clinical and laboratory characteristics of various allergic diseases in patients with CVID. Methods: The study included patients aged & GE;18 years who were followed up for a diagnosis of CVID. Patients were separated into 5 groups according to the clinical phenotypic characteristics of lymphoproliferation, autoimmunity, gastrointestinal diseases, allergic diseases, and malignancy. Atopic dermatitis (AD), drug hypersensitivity reaction (DHR), allergic rhinitis (AR), and asthma were accepted as allergic diseases. Results: The most commonly seen clinical phenotypes were lymphoproliferation in 41 (48.8%) patients and allergic diseases in 31 (37%). AD was determined in 2 (2.4%) patient, DHR in 5 (6%), AR in 7 (8.3%), and asthma in 21 (25%). The delay in diagnosis of patients with allergic disease was determined to be shorter compared to those without allergic disease (p = 0.042). Serum total immunoglobulin E level, CD19(+) B cell, switched memory B cell, and natural killer cell counts were determined to be higher in the CVID patients with allergic disease compared to those without (p = 0.007, p = 0.022, p = 0.023, p = 0.017, respectively). Conclusion: Allergic diseases should be considered as a marker of clinical phenotype in CVID because of the clinical and immunological differences. Early diagnosis and treatment of allergic diseases in patients with CVID can improve quality of life.
