Common variable immunodeficiency:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
In common variable immunodeficiency, pyogenic bacterial infections are characteristic but tend to be chronic rather than acute (as in X-linked hypogammaglobulinemia). Recurrent sinopulmonary infections, chronic bacterial conjunctivitis, and malabsorption (commonly associated with infestation by Giardia lamblia) are usually the first clues to immunodeficiency.
Common variable immunodeficiency may be associated with autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, hemolytic anemia, and pernicious anemia, and with cancers, such as leukemia and lymphoma.

Severe combined immunodeficiency disease:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
An extreme susceptibility to infection becomes obvious in the infant with SCID in the first months of life. The infant fails to thrive and develops chronic otitis; sepsis; watery diarrhea (associated with Salmonella or Escherichia coli); recurrent pulmonary infections (usually caused by Pseudomonas, cytomegalovirus, or Pneumocystis carinii); persistent oral candidiasis, sometimes with esophageal erosions; and possibly fatal viral infections such as chickenpox.
P. carinii pneumonia usually strikes a severely immunodeficient infant in the first 3 to 5 weeks of life. Onset is typically insidious, with gradually worsening cough, low-grade fever, tachypnea, and respiratory distress. Chest X-ray characteristically shows bilateral pulmonary infiltrates.

Common variable immunodeficiency:
Signs and symptoms
(Handbook of Diseases)
With common variable immunodeficiency, pyogenic bacterial infections are characteristic but tend to be chronic rather than acute (as in X-linked hypogammaglobulinemia). Recurrent sinopulmonary infections, chronic bacterial conjunctivitis, and malabsorption (commonly associated with infestation by Giardia lamblia) are usually the first clues to immunodeficiency.
Common variable immunodeficiency may be associated with autoimmune diseases (such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, hemolytic anemia, and pernicious anemia) as well as with cancers (such as leukemia and lymphoma).
Clinical tip Patients with common variable immunodeficiency can develop a nonseptic inflammatory arthritis similar to rheumatoid arthritis. However, because septic arthritis has also been reported, a search for an infecting organism should be undertaken in patients with new joint pain and inflammation, particularly if only one or two joints are affected.

Chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome:
Signs and symptoms
(Handbook of Diseases)
The characteristic symptom of CFIDS is prolonged, often overwhelming fatigue that’s commonly associated with a varying complex of other symptoms. To aid identification of the disease, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) uses a “working case definition” to group symptoms and severity. (See CDC criteria for diagnosing CFIDS.)

Congenital Immunodeficiencies:
Presentation
(Pediatric Infectious Disease)
It can be a considerable challenge for the primary care physician to distinguish
the immunologically normal child having recurrent viral infections from the
child who may have a primary immunodeficiency that requires specific diagnosis
and therapy.
There has been an attempt to devise criteria for the evaluation of primary
immunodeficiencies, often referred to as
“red flags.”
