Method The experience of diagnosing and treating one case of CVID combined with celiac disease in November 2013 was reported in the present study, and the related literatures were reviewed. Results After strict gluten-free diet and infusion of intravenous immune globulin, the patient's diarrhea relieved and serum immunoglobulin elevated. Conclusions CVID is the most frequent symptomatic primary immune deficiency which is related to celiac disease closely, a gluten-sensitive condition characterized by a variable degree of villous atrophy. Once diagnosed, gluten-free diet can alleviate the symptoms.
