What are the complications associated with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID)?

People with CVID have an increased risk of developing complications including:

• Autoimmune disorders: Conditions where the body’s immune system harms its own cells. Some people with CVID develop immune thrombocytopenia (a low level of platelets in the blood) or autoimmune hemolytic anemia (when the body’s immune system destroys red blood cells).
• Bronchiectasis: Permanent damage to the lungs from recurrent infections.
• Cancers: Conditions including lymphoma and stomach cancer.
• Granulomas: Inflamed cells in the skin, lungs, and other organs.
