Title: Abstract #1001822: Severe Hypocalcemia as the Initial Presentation of Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) Enteropathy
Abstract: Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a primary immunodeficiency with decreased levels of at least two immunoglobulin subtypes. Patients typically present with recurrent infections, especially of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. However, approximately 15% of patients develop an enteropathy that resembles inflammatory bowel disease or celiac disease. We present a case of symptomatic hypocalcemia leading to a diagnosis of CVID enteropathy.
