Notably, approximately 10% of people display CD4 + T cell counts lower than 200 cells/mm 3 ; this particular phenotype of CVID has been named LOCID (Late Onset Combined Immunodeficiency), and has a poorer prognosis than classical CVID. [en.wikipedia.org]

Prognosis The prognosis for celiac disease varies depending on when the condition is diagnosed. In general, patients who adhere to the gluten dietary restrictions do quite well, and many of the symptoms and damage can be reversible. [encyclopedia.com]
