Chronic granulomatous disease in two siblingsMüferet Ergüven, Nurcan Özümüztoprak, Murat DeveciGöztepe SSK Hospital, Child Health and Diseases, Istanbul
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), is a rare immune deficiency which has x-linked or autosomal recessive inheritance. Although neutrophils and monocytes have normal phagocytic activity, intracellular killing (bactericide) function is defective. Infections with fungi and catalase- positive bacteria such as staphylococcus aureus is frequent. We present two siblings with CGH diagnosed recent years in our clinic. Keywords: Chronic granulomatous disease, phagocyte function defect, infection
