Bronchial Asthma and Bronchial Hyperresponsiveness and Their Characteristics in Patients with Common Variable Immunodeficiency

Conclusions: An increased prevalence of BHR and BA was detected in CVID patients compared to the general population. BA may develop despite the disturbed immunoglobulin production, and the majority of patients display nonatopic and noneosinophilic properties. These results suggest a limited role of atopy and eosinophilic inflammation in the pathogenesis of BA in CVID patients.Int Arch Allergy Immunol (Source: International Archives of Allergy and Immunology)
