[Bronchial complications of primary humoral immunodeficiency].
Primary humoral immunodeficiency is characterized by an abnormal immunoglobulin production. More than twelve forms are now known and a reviewed by the authors. The deficiency is responsible for bronchial infections which in the long term may result in bronchiectasis. It may also result in benign follicular hyperplasia. The specific treatment is substitutive and not devoid of hazards.
