[Bronchiectasis severity in adult patients with common variable immunodeficiency].

Background: Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is the most common primary symptomatic humoral immunodeficiency in adults. Antibody deficiency entails higher susceptibility to sinopulmonary infections and bronchiectasis formation, which is related to increased mortality. Scales have been established to assess the degree of severity of bronchiectasis in order to predict outcomes such as mortality, exacerbations and hospitalizations.

[Type and location of bronchiectasis in a cohort of adults with common variable immunodeficiency].

Background: Bronchiectasis are permanent dilatations of the bronchi. Its prevalence in patients with variable common immunodeficiency (CVID) is high, however there is little information regarding the type and location of the same; therefore the objective of this study is to know the type and location of bronchiectasis in a cohort of adult patients with CVID.

Methods: It has been made a transversal, observational and descriptive study that included 32 adult patients with diagnosis of CVID according to the criteria of the European Society of Immunodeficiencies (ESID).
