Chronic Granulomatous Disease: The European Experience
CGD is an immunodeficiency caused by deletions or mutations in genes that encode subunits of the leukocyte NADPH oxidase complex. Normally, assembly of the NADPH oxidase complex in phagosomes of certain phagocytic cells leads to a "respiratory burst", essential for the clearance of phagocytosed micro-organisms. CGD patients lack this mechanism, which leads to life-threatening infections and gra...
متن کاملChronic Granulomatous Disease: A Large, Single-center US Experience.
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...
متن کاملChronic granulomatous disease.
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...
