Chronic granulomatous disease and McLeod syndrome in a black child.
A 3-year-old black male child with X-linked chronic granulomatous disease and red cells of the rare McLeod phenotype is presented. The red cells showed acanthocytosis and did not react with anti-KL. Similarly the leukocytes were nonreactive with anti-Kx. The Xk and Xg linkage could not be investigated since all members of his family were Xg (a+).

متن کاملChronic Granulomatous Disease; fundamental stages in our understanding of CGD
It has been 50 years since chronic granulomatous disease was first reported as a disease which fatally affected the ability of children to survive infections. Various milestone discoveries from the insufficient ability of patients' leucocytes to destroy microbial particles to the underlying genetic predispositions through which the disease is inherited have had important consequences. Longterm ...
متن کاملChronic granulomatous disease (CGD): an immunodeficiency diagnosed in pediatric ICU
Background This paper aims at showing a severe case of a patient with Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD), an immunodeficiency which is not so uncommon, affecting 1/ 250000 born alive, and which is due to phagocytic dysfunction. It is characterized by inability of phagocytic cells to produce hydrogen peroxide and other oxidants needed to eliminate microorganisms, in addition there is excessive ...
متن کاملChronic granulomatous disease, the McLeod phenotype and the contiguous gene deletion syndrome-a review
Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD), a disorder of the NADPH oxidase system, results in phagocyte functional defects and subsequent infections with bacterial and fungal pathogens (such as Aspergillus species and Candida albicans). Deletions and missense, frameshift, or nonsense mutations in the gp91phox gene (also termed CYBB), located in the Xp21.1 region of the X chromosome, are associated wi...
