Chronic Granulomatous Disease [PDF]
British Medical Bulletin, 2016 Chronic granulomatous disease is a clinical condition that stems from inactivating mutations in NOX2 and its auxiliary proteins. Together, these proteins form the phagocyte NADPH oxidase enzyme that generates superoxide. Superoxide (O2ċ-) and its reduced product hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) give rise to several additional reactive oxygen species (ROS ...

Cellular Therapies in Chronic Granulomatous Disease
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2020 Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has become the main curative treatment in patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). CGD is caused by inherited defects of the phagolysomal NADPH-oxidase, leading to a lifelong propensity ...

A Review of Chronic Granulomatous Disease [PDF]
Advances in Therapy, 2017 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.

Recent advances in chronic granulomatous disease
Genes and Diseases, 2020 Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inherited defect of phagocyte function due to defective NADPH oxidase. Patients with CGD are not able to effectively clear the infections because of the defect in the phagocyte production of oxygen free radicals ...

A case of chronic granulomatous disease and acne: is isotretinoin a safe treatment?
Dermatology Reports, 2022 We report the case of a patient with chronic granulomatous disease and acne treated with isotretinoin, who developed a diffuse staphylococcal skin infection during the therapy. Chronic granulomatous disease is a rare genetic disorder characterized by an

Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 2009 Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) was first described in the 1950s and has become a paradigm for genetic neutrophil diseases. It is characterized by recurrent infections with a narrow spectrum of bacteria and fungi as well as a common set of inflammatory complications most notably including inflammatory bowel disease. Over the last half century major
