Chronic Granulomatous Disease
Background: Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an uncommon primary immunodeficiency that can be inherited in an X-linked (XL) or an autosomal recessive (AR) manner. We reviewed our large, single-center US experience with CGD. Methods: We reviewed 27 patients at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago from March 1985 to November 2013. Fisher exact test was used to compare differ...
متن کاملrecessive chronic granulomatous disease
A 2 year old girl presented with epilepsy 16 months after being diagnosed as having autosomal recessive chronic granulomatous disease. Computed tomography showed a cerebral mass which was surgicaily removed and proved histologicaily to be an aspergilloma. This case illustrates the application of molecular diagnostic techniques to the diagnosis of chronic granulomatous disease. The occurrence of...

Chronic granulomatous disease is a rare inherited disorder characterised by inability of phagocytes to generate reactive oxygen species needed for intracellular killing of phagocytosed microorganisms. We report the case of an 8-month-old male child with recurrent chest infections and perianal abscess that had no response to conventional antibiotic treatment. His two elder brothers died due to s...

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) was first described in the 1950s and has become a paradigm for genetic neutrophil diseases. It is characterized by recurrent infections with a narrow spectrum of bacteria and fungi as well as a common set of inflammatory complications most notably including inflammatory bowel disease. Over the last half century major advances in management have profoundly alt...
متن کاملChronic granulomatous disease
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) encompasses a group of rare inherited disorders characterized by defects in a phagocyte-specific NADPH-oxidase complex that forms the superoxide radical during the respiratory burst. In this chapter, the protein components and cellular biochemistry of the oxidase are reviewed in light of recent genetic and biochemical studies of CGD. The classification and mo...
