Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) is a prevalent primary immunodeficiency in adults, marked by low immunoglobulin levels and recurrent infections. This review examines the gastrointestinal complications of CVID, including both infectious and non-infectious manifestations. It highlights therapeutic strategies, from antimicrobials to novel biologics, and the role of immune modulation. The review also explores the impact of gut microbiota dysbiosis on CVID pathogenesis and emphasizes the need for personalized treatment approaches and routine cancer screening due to the elevated risk of gastrointestinal malignancy in CVID patients.
