Specific IgGSDs were compared with each other and a cohort of 270 patients with CVID.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In comparison to CVID, recurrent lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) and bronchiectasis were rarer in IgGSDs, while recurrent mucocutaneous herpes simplex virus reactivations were more common. With respect to autoimmunity, IgGSDs were associated with arthritis, while autoimmune cytopenias were less frequently observed than in CVID. Among IgGSDs, herpes zoster was more common in IgG3SD. Arthritis was more prevalent in IgG1 + 3SD. Given its association with LRTI, splenomegaly, immune thrombocytopenic purpura, and the lower class-switched memory B-cell counts, IgG2 + 4SD is the IgGSD that rather resembles CVID.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Comparative evaluation of phenotypes and treatments of patients with IgGSDs and CVID reveals distinct features, suggesting the differential clinical\u00a0significance of diagnosing IgGSDs. The differential clinical expressions of IgGSDs highlight the need for studying each IgGSD separately in order to optimize disorder-specific follow-up procedures and prophylactic anti-infective measures.<\/jats:p>\n
