Common variable immunodeficiency associated with birdshot-like chorioretinopathy

摘要

Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a primary hypo-gammaglobulinemia. It is associated with autoimmune phenomena, such as cytopenia, Sjogren syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, and arthritis. There have been a number of reported cases of autoimmune disorders that involve the retina in association with CVID. Birdshot retinochoroidopathy is a rare, chronic disorder that typically occurs in otherwise healthy patients with a mean age of 50 years that is classified as an inflammatory multifocal chorioretinopathy.
