A Case Report on X-Linked Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD)

Abstract

The Chronic Granulomatous Disease is a rare primary immunodeficiency disease, principally attacking white blood cells, characterized by an increased susceptibility to the recurrent bacterial and fungal infections along with the genesis of granulomas in tissue. Staphylococcus and aspergillosis are the main pathogens responsible for majority of infections in CGD. Here we report a case of 5yrs old boy who came with the complaints of fever, cough, and multiple abscess over the right leg, right ankle and left hand with puss discharge. DHR test was performed and have shown the positive results for chronic granulomatous disease.
