Abstract

We report 2 patients who first developed cutaneous manifestations, followed by autoimmune phenomena, infections, and hypogammaglobulinemia. They were initially diagnosed with common variable immunodeficiency; however, the diagnosis was revised to cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 haploinsufficiency after genetic and functional testing.

Keywords: Common variable immunodeficiency; cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 haploinsufficiency; hypogammaglobulinemia; inborn errors of immunity.
