Abstract
Common variable immunodeficiency is a disorder characterized by low levels of immunoglobulin and an increased susceptibility to infections. The pathophysiology is not well known and its presentation is very heterogeneous.
We present the case of a 15 year old patient with Burkitt’s lymphoma diagnosis and one month thrombocytopenia onset.
