RESUMO
Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a heterogeneous group of immunodeficiency syndromes that involves defective production of specific antibodies and decreased serum concentrations of > or =1 immunoglobulin isotype. We describe a patient with an atypical case of CVID who had extensive granulomatous lesions that were partially attributable to mycobacterial infection. In the peripheral blood, there was a massive increase in the number of double-negative CD3+ T cells that expressed the gammadelta T cell receptor.
