But also consider a known CID with atypical presentation (leaky SCID), I would analyze T cell phenotype and function in depht. It is probably not CVID.

He was initially thought to have Evan’s syndrome and then later diagnosed with CVID. He also had reportedly low expression of CD40l but I sent genetics and no mutation was detected. He’s had low T cells and poor stimulation (although present) to mitogens. He’s on growth hormone, IVIG, and TMP-SMX.
