Mycobacterial disease in patients with chronic granulomatous disease: A retrospective analysis of 71 cases

Abstract: Mycobacterial disease is relatively common in patients with CGD living in countries in which tuberculosis is endemic, BCG vaccine is mandatory, or both. Adverse reactions to BCG and severe forms of tuberculosis should lead to a suspicion of CGD. BCG vaccine is contraindicated in patients with CGD.

“…However, to our knowledge, no patient with CGD has ever been reported to suffer from this fungal disease. This situation is reminiscent of that of tuberculosis, which is actually much more common than initially thought in CGD patients living in areas of endemic disease (49). Its pathogenesis has been attributed to defects of NADPH oxidase activity in mononuclear phagocytes (25).…”

“…The unresponsiveness of infant AMφs to IFNγ might be caused by their lack of exposure to viral infections, which have been shown to drive training and "innate macrophage memory" through CD8+ T cell-mediated priming of AMφs by IFNγ (4). Infant AMφs also exhibited lower expression of the IFNγ-stimulated gene (ISG) CYBB, which encodes a membrane-bound subunit of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase system responsible for ROS production, mutations of which are associated with susceptibility to mycobacterial infection (34). In addition, infant AMφs exhibited lower expression of genes involved in antimycobacterial phagosome maturation (DRAM2 and UVRAG) that are not known to be ISGs (35).…”
