What is the prognosis (outlook) for people with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID)?

CVID has no cure. With ongoing treatment, many people with the disorder live active and fulfilling lives.

In some cases, complications of CVID such as lung damage or cancer may affect life expectancy. These complications appear over time. They may become life-threatening, but that process often takes years.
