Background/objectives: Common Variable Immunodeficiency Disease (CVID) and other immunodeficiencies can present in subtle and variable ways. Whether or not a genetic lesion can be identified, there are not well understood biomarkers that quantitatively describe how severe a deficiency is. Here we discuss two possible ranking systems, CD4/CD8 T cell ratios and Immune Health Grades, and how such data maybe applicable to some immunodeficiencies.
