This review gives particular emphasis to the frequency of pulmonary complications during the course of common variable immunodeficiency (CVID). The most frequent are chronic pneumonitis, bronchiectasis and parenchymal lung diseases. In patients with CVID syndrome, delay in lung disease recognition is frequent. This results in derangement of the lung structure and loss of functional tissue. Therefore important clinical information has been available concerning current diagnostic processes. These studies conclude that early diagnosis make possible the effective treatment.
