Granulomatous Lymphocytic Interstitial Lung Disease Associated With Common Variable Immunodeficiency Presenting With Respiratory Failure.

This case study presents a rare occurrence of acute respiratory failure in a 17-year-old male diagnosed with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) and granulomatous lymphocytic interstitial lung disease (GLILD), which typically have a gradual onset. The patient initially exhibited nonspecific symptoms such as dry cough and fever but quickly progressed to severe respiratory failure despite conventional treatments. Imaging showed extensive lung abnormalities, and blood tests revealed significantly low immunoglobulin levels, indicating an underlying immunodeficiency.
