Chronic granulomatous disease in Latin American patients: Clinical spectrum and molecular genetics

Abstract: X-CGD patients from Latin America showed a high degree of molecular heterogeneity, including two novel mutations. Their clinical characteristics included early onset of infections and eventual obstructive granulomas. A47-CGD represented 50% of the reported cases, a higher prevalence than reported in other series.

“…As shown in Table 3, few PIDs impart susceptibility to mycobacteria, but patients with mycobacterial infections characteristically develop severe, disseminated, sometimes lifethreatening diseases, even with low-virulence strains such as BCG and environmental nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) (1,11,12,15,33,63,94,96,97,103,105). There are differences in susceptibility to mycobacteria with different PIDs.…”

“…A high proportion of CGD patients from Iran, Hong Kong, and Taiwan had severe recurrent M. tuberculosis and BGC infections (63,65,74). Brazilian CGD patients are also highly susceptible to BCG, although no case of tuberculosis has been identified (1,15).…”

“…y Aspergillus spp. (3)(4)(5)7). El manejo convencional de la enfermedad incluye el tratamiento agresivo de las enfermedades infecciosas con antimicrobianos y ciclos cortos de esteroides, y la profilaxis con antimicrobianos para bacterias y hongos, así como con interferón gamma recombinante humano (rhIFN-γ).…”
