Abstract
CVID (common variable immunodeficiency) is associated with a variety of gastrointestinal disorders including those mimicking Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. At present there is no clear trial data for the treatment of CVID enteropathy. There are no specific recommendations for treatment; however, it is commonly treated in a similar manner to inflammatory bowel disease, with corticosteroids, 5-aminosalicylates (5-ASA), azathioprine and anti-TNF therapy all being used. We describe the case of a 54-year-old with CVID-enteropathy presenting with diarrhoea and evidence of granulomatous inflammation on colonic biopsies. He was successfully treated with ustekinumab following failure/intolerance of prednisolone, 5-ASA and azathioprine. Features of CVID-enteropathy improved both clinically and histologically, with no evidence of serious treatment-related side effects.
期刊介绍：
IMMUNOLOGIC RESEARCH represents a unique medium for the presentation, interpretation, and clarification of complex scientific data. Information is presented in the form of interpretive synthesis reviews, original research articles, symposia, editorials, and theoretical essays. The scope of coverage extends to cellular immunology, immunogenetics, molecular and structural immunology, immunoregulation and autoimmunity, immunopathology, tumor immunology, host defense and microbial immunity, including viral immunology, immunohematology, mucosal immunity, complement, transplantation immunology, clinical immunology, neuroimmunology, immunoendocrinology, immunotoxicology, translational immunology, and history of immunology.
