Antibody deficiency with normal immunoglobulin levels

The cause of the syndrome is unknown. It is related to IgG subclass deficiencies and there is a failure to respond to specific antigens. This entity, observed more in adults, clinically resembles common variable immunodeficiency (CVI). In small children, it is due to a maturational delay that resolves spontaneously.
