Common Immune Deficiency (VCID) is a very heterogeneous condition both
clinically and immunologically. It is a group of molecular abnormalities responsible for a defect in antibody
production leading to hypogammaglobulinemia often associated with
autoimmune and/or lymphoproliferative manifestations. Late Onset Combined Immune Deficiency (LOCID) is a
type of Variable Common Immune Deficiency (VCID) defined by a defect in
antibody production (IgG and IgA ¡À IgM
type), profound CD4 T-cell lymphopenia and frequent opportunistic infections. LOCID has been considered as
a distinct entity from VCID due to its particular clinical and immunological
profile.
