Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is among the chronic diseases of the breast, which is more common in Middle Eastern countries than in Western countries. Since the etiology of the disease is not well known, there is no international consensus on the management of the disease. Antibiotic, Non-Steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, cytotoxic and immunosuppressive medi...
The present report discusses disseminated fusariosis in a 15 year old boy with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). He was admitted to the Hazrat Rasool Acram Hospital in November 1995, with a chronic wound in the right ankle and buttock area. Antibacterial therapy was started, but there was no response. The patient was still febrile. Chest x-ray revealed parahilar lesions in both lungs. Ti...
BACKGROUND Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is due to defective nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase activity and characterized by recurrent infections with a limited spectrum of bacteria and fungi as well as inflammatory complications. To understand the impact of common severe infections in CGD, we examined the records of 268 patients followed at a single center over 4 decade...
chia coli, non-typhoid Salmonella species, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Serratia marcescens, and Burkholderia cepacia, as well as the fungal genus Aspergillus. 3-6) Isolation of the causative pathogens is essential for appropriate antimicrobial therapy, but it is difficult to identify the causative pathogen in most clinical CGD cases. 6) NADPH oxidase is a multi-component complex composed of a plasma...
Mucormycosis is a rare opportunistic fungal infection that occurs in certain immunocompromised patients. We present 2 cases of invasive mucormycosis due to Rhizopus spp. in patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) and discuss their clinical presentation, management challenges, and outcomes.
CGD is an immunodeficiency caused by deletions or mutations in genes that encode subunits of the leukocyte NADPH oxidase complex. Normally, assembly of the NADPH oxidase complex in phagosomes of certain phagocytic cells leads to a "respiratory burst", essential for the clearance of phagocytosed micro-organisms. CGD patients lack this mechanism, which leads to life-threatening infections and gra...
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a primary immunodeficiency caused by defects in any of the five subunits of the NADPH oxidase complex responsible for the respiratory burst in phagocytic leukocytes. Patients with CGD are at increased risk of life-threatening infections with catalase-positive bacteria and fungi and inflammatory complications such as CGD colitis. The implementation of routi...
Correspondence Propionibacterium propionicus Infection in Chronic Granulomatous Disease Sir—Bourdeaut et al. [1] recently described 2 pediatric patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) who developed chest infections caused by Pro-pionibacterium acnes. We describe a 7-year-old boy with CGD who developed a Propionibacterium propionicus infection. CGD is an inherited disease caused by def...
OBJECTIVE Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare disorder of phagocyte oxidative metabolism. In addition to infectious complications, granulomatous lesions often involve hollow viscera, especially the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical presentation, prevalence, and consequences of GI involvement in patients with CGD. METHODS The medica...
The present authors report the case of an adult with chronic granulomatous disease who developed an unusual lung fibrosis associated with severe pulmonary hypertension. Histological analysis of a lung biopsy showed a diffuse infiltration with pigmented macrophages without granulomas, which particularly involved the pulmonary arterial and venular walls. Clinical and histological findings were su...
