Official Title: Study of Populations at Risk of Developing Chronic Hepatitis Linked to Chronic Enteric Virus Infection in Patients With Primary Immunodeficiency and Secondary Humoral Deficiency
Brief Summary:
Dysimmune and specially hepatic immuno-pathological processes are frequent in patients with PIDs (primary immune deficiencies), particularly but not exclusively in patients with humoral defects. In the latter, nodular regenerative hyperplasia is a frequent complication. It is often associated with mislabeled chronic enteropathy. The investigators hypothesized that chronic viral infection with an enteric virus and the immune response that it implies might explain these processes.To identify populations at risk of…
