The epidemiology of Burkholderia infection in persons with chronic granulomatous disease is poorly understood. We used species-specific polymerase chain reaction-based assays and genotyping analyses to identify 32 strains representing 9 Burkholderia species among 50 isolates recovered from 18 patients with chronic granulomatous disease. We found that recurrent pulmonary infection with distinct ...

chronic granulomatous disease represents a group of inherited disorders of phagocytic system wherein recurrent infections are seen at different sites especially in the respiratory system. to determine the clinical spectrum of respiratory manifestations in chronic granulomatous disease patients, in this retrospective study, we used data from iranian primary immunodeficiency registry. the diagnos...

Normal human eosinophils possess appreciable intrinsic candidacidal activity. The leukocyte microbicidal deficiency of chronic granulomatous disease is manifested by eosinophils as well as by neutrophils and monocytes.

Childhood granulomatous periorificial dermatitis (CGPD), also known as facial Afro-Caribbean childhood eruption (FACE), is a distinctive granulomatous form of perioral dermatitis. It is a condition of unknown etiology, characterized by monomorphous, small, papular eruptions around the mouth, nose and eyes that histopathologically show a granulomatous pattern. It affects prepubescent children of...

Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) in patients with HIV infection can, in rare cases, present with pulmonary nodules that histologically involve granulomatous inflammation. This report describes an intriguing case of granulomatous PJP with pulmonary nodules after commencing antiretroviral therapy (ART) in an HIV-infected patient without respiratory signs or symptoms. Diagnosis of granulomat...

The parenchymal lung diseases caused by metal inhalation include interstitial fibrosis, giant cell interstitial pneumonitis, chemical pneumonitis, and granulomatous disease, among others. We reported two cases of granulomatous lung disease with occupational exposure to metal dusts other than beryllium. They had worked in the battery manufacturing industry for 7 years and in an aluminum-processi...

OBJECTIVES Patients with chronic granulomatous disease and carrier mothers of patients with chronic granulomatous disease are predisposed to developing various forms of lupus. This disorder is a neutrophil defect in intracellular killing. Abnormal apoptosis has been described. We hypothesized that abnormal apoptosis occurring in neutrophils of patients made them more immunogenic. METHODS Huma...

Granulomatous gastritis (GG) is a subtype of chronic which may be infectious, non-infectious, or idiopathic in nature. For treating clinicians, granulomatous has always been diagnostic challenge because the same clinical and endoscopic features between Crohn’s disease tuberculosis. A diagnosis can reached only by combination histopathological examination with laboratory investigations. Several ...
