Background: HLA-matched hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the curative treatment for chronic granulomatous disease (CGD).Objective: To report a case of X-linked CGD with active infection successfully treated by haploidentical HSCT with post-transplant high dose cyclophosphamide (PTCY).
Methods:A 5-year-old Thai boy with CGD was undergone for haploidentical HSCT using PTCY with correction of the phagocytic function. He presented with Chromobacterium violaceum liver abscess at the age of 9 months and experienced recurrent perianal abscess and invasive pulmonary aspergillosis even receiving antimicrobial prophylaxis. PTCY was given on day 3 and 4, after CD34 + cells infusion.
Results:The peripheral blood-nucleated cell chimerism showed 100% on day 16 and remained 100%. Dihydrorhodamine (DHR) assay on day 108 and day 214 showed normal results. Currently at 22 months post HSCT, he does not receive antibiotic and anti-fungal prophylaxis.Conclusions: Haploidentical HSCT with PTCY could be an effective treatment option for children with CGD.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
