Among survey respondents, there is a marked burden of neurologic symptoms. Given the impact of neurologic symptoms on health-related quality-of-life measures, clinicians should screen patients with common variable immunodeficiency for the presence of these symptoms and offer referral to neurologists and/or symptomatic treatment when indicated. Frequently prescribed neurologic medications may also affect the immune system, and neurologists should consider screening patients for immune deficiency before prescribing them.
