Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a disorder of typically adult-onset hypogammaglobulinemia in the absence of other known causes. Noninfectious gastrointestinal tract manifestations are common, and a subset of patients with CVID present with a severe enteropathy manifesting as severe malabsorption, weight loss, and diarrhea. A 63-year-old man presented with CVID and severe enteropathy who failed to improve with cytomegalovirus therapy, multiple empiric therapies, and corticosteroids. Vedolizumab infusions were initiated with a dramatic, rapid, and durable complete clinical response.
普通可变免疫缺陷(CVID)是一种通常在成人期发病的低丙种球蛋白血症疾病,不存在其他已知病因。非感染性胃肠道表现很常见,一部分CVID患者会出现严重肠病,表现为严重吸收不良、体重减轻和腹泻。一名63岁男性患有CVID和严重肠病,接受巨细胞病毒治疗、多种经验性治疗和皮质类固醇治疗均未见改善。开始使用维多珠单抗输注后,患者出现了显著、快速且持久的完全临床缓解。
