风湿免疫科

Common symptoms

脑脓肿、湿疹、肝脾肿大、胃窦狭窄、腹泻

The pathology of disease

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an X-linked or autosomal-recessive phagocyte NADPH-oxidase deficiency causing recurrent severe bacterial/fungal infections and granuloma formation due to impaired intracellular killing.

Common Symptoms

Recurrent lymphadenitis; skin abscesses; pneumonia; osteomyelitis; abscesses; granulomas; Fungal infection

Causes and Pathogenesis

Mutations in genes encoding NADPH-oxidase components (CYBB X-linked, others autosomal recessive) prevent respiratory burst and reactive-oxygen-species production; phagocytes cannot kill catalase-positive organisms (Staph aureus, Aspergillus).

Treatment

Prophylactic antibiotics/antifungals; IFN-gamma; hematopoietic-stem-cell transplant; gene therapy

Preventive Measures

Early diagnosis; lifelong prophylaxis; genetic counseling; prompt infection treatment.

Department to Visit

It is recommended to visit the Pediatric Hematology department; an appointment can be booked on this platform before the visit.
