Abstract excerpt
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is characterized by the failure of phagocytic leukocytes to kill certain bacteria and fungi. This is caused by deficiencies in one of the components of NADPH oxidase, the enzyme in phagocytic leukocytes that generates superoxide. In a rare, autosomal recessive...
