Primary immunodeficiencies are generally determined and can present early or at birth as opposed to acquired infections which present later. [pedclerk.bsd.uchicago.edu]

The disorder presents clinically as marked susceptibility to infections, severe malabsorption and failure to thrive and is often fatal in early childhood. [orpha.net]

Clinically, CVID patients may present similarly to patients with XLA. Certain atypical XLA varieties with a delayed presentation are known to mimic CVID. [hindawi.com]

For example, severe T-cell or combined immune deficiencies typically present in infancy. However, some antibody deficiencies may present in older children or adults. [aaaai.org]

Some conditions such as selective IgAD have a good prognosis. [patient.info]
