Summary
This case report details a patient with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) who developed autoimmune retinopathy (AIR). Multimodal imaging revealed retinal lesions, suggesting a link between CVID and immune-mediated eye disease.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Immunology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by hypogammaglobulinemia.
- Ocular manifestations in CVID are uncommon but can significantly impact vision.
- Autoimmune retinopathy (AIR) is a rare condition involving immune-mediated damage to the retina.

Immunodeficiency Diseases

Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.

Autoimmune Disorders
363
Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, tissues, and organs. This results from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. Let's delve into the concept and mechanism of autoimmune diseases from an immune system point of view, explore different causes and examples of such diseases, and discuss potential solutions.
