seriously poor quality

This article needs urgent refresh. Most of the information is inaccurate (20-30 subtypes, not 150; pathophysiology not correctly characterised; subtypes not helpfully identified; signs and symptoms should be separated from diagnostic critters) and/or uncited.

Comments

The article presently neglects to mention whether the ID is cellular, humoral or both. There could also be a bit more about the research so far - clearly several subtypes can be mentioned now. JFW | T@lk 15:28, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've tried to find an easily accessible review article on this condition. Most are not available in free fulltext, apart from a Brazilian one[1]. There are a lot of disease associations and phenomena, such as granulomatous disease, autoimmune diseases, malignancies and others. To get this article up-to-date we need a few good sources.

Interesting addition about the CA, and not something I've come across. I shall consult other patients to find out what their experiences are in relation to it. DavidWaldock 07:39, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Informal research

The article states that EBV is implicated in the pathogenesis of some types of CVID "by some informal research"... what is informal research? Is is a euphemism for alternative quakery? --211.30.119.171 11:48, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Currently there is no reference for transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy or THI. User: gatos 02:34, 31 March 2007

Subtypes

doi:10.1182/blood-2007-06-091744 - might there be subtypes of CVID? JFW | T@lk 16:47, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

doi:10.1182/blood-2007-11-124545 - there might indeed. JFW | T@lk 21:07, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

doi:10.1016/S0140-6736(08)61199-X - recent Lancet review. This page is now a real candidate for updating. JFW | T@lk 20:27, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

doi:10.1111/j.1365-2141.2009.07669.x - Br J Haem review. Even more important that we hack at this page at some point. JFW | T@lk 23:10, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
