[CIS PIDD] [cis-pidd] CVID, bronchiectasis, atypical mycobacteria, hemoptysis

[CIS-PIDD]

Hi Elena,

Tell me about CVID compications in adults...

However, your q really makes me curious, since not one of our CVIDs have had atypical mycobacteria despite (all too common) bronchiectasis. And we have checked.

However, our STAT1/STAT3s do...

Of course climate might have some effect I guess in case of mycobacteria, but our patients do definitely encounter these and the tap water in some areas of Helsinki City with old pipes has really high counts...??

At least I would not proceed to LTx w/o some gene digging...

Hello Colleagues,

I am seeing more adults with PIDD in practice now. Coming from the pediatric side, it is interesting (and scary at times) to see some of the complications-- that I’ve not had to routinely manage yet-- of CVID later in life.

Yesterday I saw two patients one male in their 50s and a 63yo female with CVID, bronchiectasis, atypical mycobacteria and recurrent hemoptysis. Both are followed by pulmonologists locally and one has been to National Jewish for evaluation. It seems there are differing opinions on the treatment of atypical mycobacteria in these patients.

My questions are:
1/ are there any guidelines you use for these patients on acute management of hemoptysis episodes?
2/ how aggressively do you follow cultures for atypical mycobacteria and treat/retreat/stay on treatment?
3/ for patients with CVID and bronchiectasis whose pulmonologists feel they are at “end stage” do you initiate a lung transplant evaluation? if so where? (we are in South FL)

Thanks!
Elena
