Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: For all patient groups: a proven primary immunodeficiency other than CVID, e.g. X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) or hyper-IgM syndrome (HIGM), or a strong suspicion of one of these diseases.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. The prevalence of enteropathogenic virus infections in children and adolescents with CVID(-like disease) and SCT patients 2. An association between viral excretion and auto-/allo-immune enteropathy | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. The prevalence of symptomatic and asymptomatic enteropathogenic viral infections in CVID(-like disease) 2. If any viruses are found: to assess a. Duration of infection b. Specification of the pathogen c. Association between pathogen and clinical findings of the patient 3. To explore the potential differences in prevalence between the pediatric CVID population, 'CVID-like disease' population and healthy children/adolescents. | — |
