There is limited evidence to guide successful treatment of recurrent Campylobacter infection in patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) already managed on regular immunoglobulin therapy. The role of faecal microbiota transplant (FMT) is uncertain. We report a case of recurrent Campylobacter jejuni infection in a patient with CVID treated with repeated FMT with 18 months of symptom resolution prior to relapse.

Common Variable

Common variable immunodeficiency disorder (CVID) is the commonest type of primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDs) characterized by hypogammaglobulinemia, defective specific antibody production and increased susceptibility of recurrent infections. Autoimmunity, neoplasm and lymphoproliferative disorders are usually associated with CVID. In most cases, the cause is unknown, but multiple gene mutations (10%) may be associated with CVID. Here, we report an eight years old girl with CVID presented with recurrent infections, growth failure, generalized lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly. Chest examination and radiological findings of this girl were consistent with bronchiectasis. Lack of awareness among health care providers is the reason for delayed diagnosis of several years for this girl. Therefore, it is essential to raise awareness regarding PID patients among the physicians to improve the quality of life.

Common Variable

Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) or acquired hypogammaglobulinemia is the type of primary immunodeficiency. Deregulation of the immune system, leading to hypogammaglobulinemia, defective activation and proliferation of T cells and dendritic cells, and malfunction of the cytokines are observed in CVID. The clinical picture of CVID varies, any organ or system can be affected, therefore the diagnosis is often difficult and delayed and sometimes is not always possible. This article describes a twelve years old boy with all the clinical signs of immunodeficiency, as confi rmed by laboratory. The main treatment consists of life-long immunoglobulin substitution in intravenous or subcutaneous form.
