Stenotrophomonas maltophilia: An Emerging Pathogen in Chronic Granulomatous Disease

Abstract: Reports of infections with Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in primary immunodeficiency diseases are scarce. We report 3 children with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) who developed infections due to S. maltophilia (1- septicemia and 2- pneumonia). We propose that CGD is a risk factor for the development of S. maltophilia infections and children with unexplained S. maltophilia infections need to be worked up for CGD.

“…S. maltophilia is not common in IEI, and the susceptibility pattern is unclear. A recent study suggested that the S. maltophilia infection rate in CGD patients was higher than in other types of immunodeficiency [42] . However, no CGD patients had S. maltophilia infection in our study.…”
