Article Synopsis
- Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a disorder marked by issues in B cell functioning and antibody production, with various responses depending on whether T cells are involved.
- A study comparing 23 CVID patients with 14 healthy donors analyzed B and T cell activity and proliferation under different stimuli, finding differing responses based on the presence of memory B cells.
- Results indicated that patients with lower memory B cells had increased follicular T cells and poor proliferation to certain stimuli, highlighting the need for more research to uncover the underlying mechanisms and potential genetic links to CVID.

The peak expiratory flow is cheap and easy to use; it measures the forced expiratory flow, of which reversibility > 20% suggests asthma.
Objective: To know the sensitivity, specificity, and the positive and negative predictive values of the flowmeter.
