Abstract

Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is the most common symptomatic immunodeficiency, frequently presenting as recurrent upper respiratory infections. A portion of these patients develop non-specific gastrointestinal symptoms with a smaller subset developing CVID enteropathy, characterized by chronic diarrhea with absence of plasma cells and aggregates of T cells on intestinal pathology. We describe two cases of steroid refractory CVID enteropathy who were started on Vedolizumab (VDZ) with clinical remission.
