Chronic granulomatous disease, abbreviated CGD, is a specific diagnosis; it should not be understood as a granulomatous disease that is of a long duration.
CGD is disorder of neutrophils,[1] and typically leads to widespread granulomas.[2]
General
- Five different genetic defects have been identified that cause the disease.
- Individual with the condition have an increased susceptibility to infections.
- Usually presents in infancy or childhood.[3]
- Incidence estimated at 1/200,000-1/250,000.[4]
Microscopic
Features:
- Granulomas - see Basics.
DDx:
- Crohn's disease - essentially indistinguishable histomorphologically in the GI tract.[1]
