Abstract
This report describes a young girl who developed systemic lupus erythematosus at the age of 11. In the years thereafter a conversion took place from hypergammaglobulinemia to hypogammaglobulinemia with the absence of circulating and bone marrow B-cells. Some aspects of the aetiopathogenesis of common variable immunodeficiency are discussed.
