Abstract
We present five cases of common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), comprising three women and two men with a mean age of 23.8 ± 9.2 years. All our patients suffered from recurrent bronchopneumonitis, with complications of purulent pleurisy in two cases, requiring decortication in one case, and resulting in bronchiectasis in three cases. Digestive tract infections were observed in four patients, while two patients presented with ENT infections. One case was complicated by bacterial meningitis. All patients presented with global hypogammaglobulinemia, with CVID and granulomatous manifestation in one case. Treatment consisted of monthly immunoglobulin infusions.

Lymphopenia, Lymphopenia-Induced Proliferation, and Autoimmunity. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22084152.

Abstract
Immune homeostasis is a tightly regulated system that is critical for defense against invasion by foreign pathogens and protection from self-reactivity for the survival of an individual. How the defects in this system might result in autoimmunity is discussed in this review. Reduced lymphocyte number, termed lymphopenia, can mediate lymphopenia-induced proliferation (LIP) to maintain peripheral lymphocyte numbers. LIP not only occurs in normal physiological conditions but also correlates with autoimmunity. Of note, lymphopenia is also a typical marker of immune aging, consistent with the fact that not only the autoimmunity increases in the elderly, but also autoimmune diseases (ADs) show characteristics of immune aging. Here, we discuss the types and rates of LIP in normal and autoimmune conditions, as well as the coronavirus disease 2019 in the context of LIP. Importantly, although the causative role of LIP has been demonstrated in the development of type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis, a two-hit model has suggested that the factors other than lymphopenia are required to mediate the loss of control over homeostasis to result in ADs. Interestingly, these factors may be, if not totally, related to the function/number of regulatory T cells which are key modulators to protect from self-reactivity. In this review, we summarize the important roles of lymphopenia/LIP and the Treg cells in various autoimmune conditions, thereby highlighting them as key therapeutic targets for autoimmunity treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary immune deficiencies (PIDs) are a heterogeneous group of disorders resulting from defects in immune system. They lead to increased susceptibility to infections and immune dysregulation. The resulting chronic inflammation can induce long-term complications, including AA amyloidosis (AAA). OBJECTIVES To present the French cases of PID-related AAA and perform a systematic literature review to determine its main features and predisposing factors. METHODS A systematic literature review was performed by searching MEDLINE up until 2019. New French cases were identified with the help of the Reference Center for Auto-Inflammatory Diseases and AA Amyloidosis and the Reference Center for Hereditary Immune Deficiencies. RESULTS Forty patients were identified including 2 new French cases. PIDs were varied: immunoglobulin deficits (n = 30), chronic granulomatous disease (n = 3), hyper-IgM syndrome (n = 3), hereditary complete C4 deficiency (n = 1), leucocyte adhesion deficiency type 1 (n = 1), hyper-IgE syndrome (n = 1), and Chediak-Higashi syndrome (n = 1). The mean age at PID diagnosis was 22.2 ± 16.02 years. Renal involvement was the most common manifestation of AAA (80%). Infections were extremely heterogeneous; bacterial infection with pulmonary involvement was the most frequent. Bronchiectasis was particularly common (52.5%). The delay between the first symptoms of PID and AAA diagnosis was 16.18 ± 7 years. Thirteen concomitant diagnoses were made. Twenty patients died during follow-up. CONCLUSION AAA is a rare life-threatening complication of PID, especially in cases of long diagnostic and therapeutic delays. Bronchiectasis should be considered as a warning sign of chronic inflammation and increased risk of AAA.

Abstract
The field of primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) is rapidly evolving. Indeed, the number of described diseases is constantly increasing thanks to the rapid identification of novel genetic defects by next-generation sequencing. PIDs are now rather referred to as “inborn errors of immunity” due to the association between a wide range of immune dysregulation-related clinical features and the “prototypic” increased infection susceptibility. The phenotypic spectrum of PIDs is therefore very large and includes several orofacial features. However, the latter are often overshadowed by severe systemic manifestations and remain underdiagnosed. Patients with impaired innate immunity are predisposed to a variety of oral manifestations including oral infections (e.g., candidiasis, herpes gingivostomatitis), aphthous ulcers, and severe periodontal diseases. Although less frequently, they can also show orofacial developmental abnormalities. Oral lesions can even represent the main clinical manifestation of some PIDs or be inaugural, being therefore one of the first features indicating the existence of an underlying immune defect. The aim of this review is to describe the orofacial features associated with the different PIDs of innate immunity based on the new 2019 classification from the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) expert committee. This review highlights the important role played by the dentist, in close collaboration with the multidisciplinary medical team, in the management and the diagnostic of these conditions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ten to 15% of common variable immunodeficiencies (CVID) develop auto-immune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) and immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Treatment is based on immunosuppressants, which produce blocking effects in the CVID. Our objective was to assess their risk-benefit ratio in these immunocompromised patients. METHODS We identified 17 articles detailing the treatment of AIHA and/or ITP in patients suffering from CVID through a systematic review of the MEDLINE database. RESULTS The increased infectious risk with corticosteroids does not call into question their place in the first line of treatment of ITP and AIHA in CVID. High-doses immunoglobulin therapy remain reserved for ITP with a high risk of bleeding. In second-line treatment, rituximab appears to be effective, with a lower infectious risk than the splenectomy. Immunosuppressants (azathioprine, methotrexate, mycophenolate, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, ciclosporine) are moderately effective and often lead to severe infections, meaning that their use is justified only in resistant cases and steroid-sparing. Dapsone, danazol and anti-D immunoglobulins have an unfavorable risk-benefit ratio. The place of TPO receptor agonists is still to be defined. The establishment of immunoglobulin replacement in the place of immunosuppressants (except for short-term corticotherapy) or splenectomy appears to be essential to limit the risk of infections, including in the absence of previous infections. CONCLUSION The presence of CVID does not mean that it is necessary to give up on corticosteroids as a first-line treatment and rituximab as a second-line treatment for AIHA and ITP, but it should be in addition to immunoglobulin replacement. A splenectomy should be reserved as a third-line treatment.
