Abstract

Granulomatous lymphocytic interstitial lung disease (GL-ILD) is a rare, non-infectious pulmonary manifestation of common variable immunodeficiency (CVID). Diagnosing and managing GLILD remains challenging due to its poorly understood pathogenesis and high mortality. We present a complex case of a young female with CVID associated with lung and spinal cord involvement managed with azathioprine and rituximab.
