Additional Information:

Diagnosis GeneReviews The diagnosis of chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), a primary immunodeficiency disorder of phagocytes (neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, and eosinophils) resulting from impaired killing of bacteria and fungi, is suspected in individuals (usually children) with the following findings:...
Clinical Description GeneReviews Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is characterized by severe recurrent bacterial and fungal infections and dysregulated inflammatory response resulting in granuloma formation and other inflammatory disorders such as colitis....
Genotype-Phenotype Correlations GeneReviews Historically, it has been recognized that mutations in CYBB (the cause of X-linked CGD) give rise to a more serious phenotype than mutations causing autosomal recessive (AR) forms of CGD. Compared to persons with AR-CGD, males with X-linked CGD are typically diagnosed earlier and have a significantly higher incidence of perirectal abscess, suppurative adenitis, gastric outlet obstruction, urinary obstruction; and higher mortality at a young age. ...
Differential Diagnosis GeneReviews The differential diagnosis of chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) mainly involves disorders with recurrent or unusual infections or disorders associated with granuloma formation and hyperinflammation. The following disorders should be considered:...
Management GeneReviews To establish the extent of disease and needs of an individual diagnosed with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), evaluation should include the following: ...
