recessive 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 کاملMimicking hypersensitivity pneumonitis as an uncommon initial presentation of chronic granulomatous disease in children
Dry cough, dyspenea and diffuse centrilobular nodules in both lungs of radiologic findings similar to hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) are rare initial presentation in chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). CGD is remarkable for increased susceptibility to bacterial and fungal infections as well as high sensitivity to inciting antigens such as Aspergillus species due to dysregulated inflammation...
متن کاملFulminant mulch pneumonitis: an emergency presentation of chronic granulomatous disease.
BACKGROUND Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is associated with multiple and recurrent infections. In patients with CGD, invasive pulmonary infection with Aspergillus species remains the greatest cause of mortality and is typically insidious in onset. Acute fulminant presentations of fungal pneumonia are catastrophic. METHODS Case records, radiograph findings, and microbiologic examination ...
متن کاملRecessive Cytochrome-positive Chronic Granulomatous Disease
The kinetics of activation of the respiratory burst oxidase in the cell-free oxidase-activating system have been explained by a three-stage mechanism in which the membrane-associated oxidase components M: (a) take up a cytosolic factor S to form a complex M S that is (b) slowly converted in the second stage to a precatalytic species [M*S]*, which finally (c) takes up two more (possibly identica...
متن کاملMutations in the X-linked and autosomal recessive forms of chronic granulomatous disease.
HRONIC granulomatous disease (CGD) is an immunoC deficiency syndrome characterized clinically by severe recurrent bacterial and fungal infections that are difficult to treat by conventional means. These infections predominate in the lymph nodes, the subcutaneous tissues, the lungs, the liver and the bones. Gastrointestinal manifestations include diarrhea, perianal abscesses, and obstructions ca...
