Chronic granulomatous disease

Internal and Emergency Medicine, 2011
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare primary immunodeficiency due to an abnormal function of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase; NADPH oxidase is a key enzyme for the cellular "respiratory burst", the cellular process that converts molecular oxygen to the oxygen free-radical superoxide.

Chronic granulomatous disease in adults

The Lancet, 1996
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), an inherited disorder of granulocyte function caused by failure of intracellular superoxide production, normally presents in the first years of life with severe recurrent bacterial and fungal infections.From the files of two children's hospitals we identified 11 CGD patients who were remarkable for an unusually late

Sarcoidosis in Chronic Granulomatous Disease

Pediatrics, 2006
In addition to increased susceptibility to infections in patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), a higher incidence of sterile inflammatory disorders in these patients has been noted. However, sarcoidosis has not been reported previously in CGD.

AMANTADINE IN CHRONIC GRANULOMATOUS DISEASE

Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, 2005
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare genetically determined immunodeficiency. Neutrophils from CGD patients show a defective killing of phagocytosed fungi and bacteria, due not only to an impairment in oxidative burst, but also to absence of normal pH value within phagocytic vacuole following phagocytosis.

Classification of Chronic Granulomatous Disease

Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 1988
Chronic granulomatous disease is a heterogeneous disorder caused by at least three, and possibly four, types of mutations. Based on recent biochemical and molecular genetic data on this disease, a classification scheme and summary of the various forms of the disease are presented.

Chronic Granulomatous Disease 1974

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1975
THE office diagnosis of many newly discovered diseases caused by neutrophil dysfunction is now possible with the use of clinical criteria and relatively simple laboratory tests. Through techniques evolved in the course of elucidating rare inborn disorders, it is now feasible to approach commonplace impairments of neutrophil function which occur as ...

Topics in Chronic Granulomatous Disease

Pediatrics, 1991
To the Editor.— Such phagocytic cells as neutrophils and macrophages are crucial elements in the host defense against bacterial [See table in the PDF file] and fungal infections. Microbicidal activity depends to a large extent on NADPH oxidase system, which can be activated by stimuli (bacteria, fungi) and ...
