Lung disease in patients with common variable immunodeficiency.

CONCLUSIONS: GLILD is the major cause of lung disease in CVID. Computed tomography is useful for diagnosis but not necessary in follow-up, in which functional tests should have better correlation with clinical evolution, reducing radiation exposure. Biopsy should be indicated when the clinical diagnosis is unclear. Treatment should be considered whenever there is clear evidence of disease progression.
