Abstract
Purpose of review: The pathogenesis of granulomatous disease in common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is still largely unknown, which hampers effective treatment. This review describes the current knowledge on the pathogenesis of granuloma formation in CVID and the biological basis of the current treatment options.
Recent findings: Histological analysis shows that T and B cells are abundantly present in the granulomas that are less well organized and are frequently associated with lymphoid hyperplasia. Increased presence of activation markers such as soluble IL-2 receptor (sIL-2R) and IFN-ɣ, suggest increased Th1-cell activity. Moreover, B-cell abnormalities are prominent in CVID, with elevated IgM, BAFF, and CD21low B cells correlating with granulomatous disease progression. Innate immune alterations, as M2 macrophages and neutrophil dysregulation, indicate chronic inflammation. Therapeutic regimens include glucocorticoids, DMARDs, and biologicals like rituximab.
Summary: Our review links the biological context of CVID with granulomatous disease or GLILD to currently prescribed therapies and potential targeted treatments.
期刊介绍:
This reader-friendly, bimonthly resource provides a powerful, broad-based perspective on the most important advances from throughout the world literature. Featuring renowned guest editors and focusing exclusively on one to three topics, every issue of Current Opinion in Allergy and Clinical Immunology delivers unvarnished, expert assessments of developments from the previous year. Insightful editorials and on-the-mark invited reviews cover key subjects such as upper airway disease; mechanisms of allergy and adult asthma; paediatric asthma and development of atopy; food and drug allergies; and immunotherapy.
