This review discusses new emerging pulmonary phenotypes associated with antibody deficiency, as well as antibody deficiency syndromes that lead to end-stage lung disease and the indications for lung transplantation in primary immunodeficiency disease. These challenging cases require timely and individualized strategies for genetic and immunologic diagnosis, decisions about therapeutic approaches, and long-term monitoring.
New emerging pulmonary phenotypes associated with antibody deficiency, such as neutrophilic asthma, frequent exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and unexplained interstitial lung disease, particularly in younger adults, are discussed in this review through a case-based approach. Also discussed in similar fashion are antibody deficiency syndromes that lead to end-stage lung disease and the indications for lung transplantation in primary immunodeficiency disease. These challenging cases require timely and individualized strategies for genetic and immunologic diagnosis, decisions about therapeutic approaches, and long-term monitoring.
