“…More recently, non-phagocytic cells have been identified to generate ROS by a NADPH oxidase-dependent system (31). Deficiencies in NADPH oxidase function causes chronic granulomatous disease, a disorder that is associated with wound infection and impaired wound healing (32). Recent studies indicate that ROS may serve as signaling mediators (4).…”

“…Once recruited, PMNs produce and release copious amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that target potential bacterial invaders. A failure in sufficient production of ROS leads to frequent and recurrent bacterial and fungal infections; as observed in chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), a disease prompted by a deficient oxidase system in PMNs (Eckert et al, 1995). Conversely, excess ROS production contributes to the pathophysiology of conditions such as impaired wound healing (Gordillo and Sen, 2003), cardiovascular disease (Cave et al, 2006), sepsis (Guo and Ward, 2007)or ischemia/reperfusion injury(Kaminski et al, 2002).…”

“…In contrast, the series examining thoracic surgery in nontuberculous mycobacterial disease identified only two instances of wound infections in 265 operations [19]. Previous series of CGD patients have reported rates of wound complications ranging from 20 to 40 %, likely reflecting the unique inflammatory defect in CGD that leads to exuberant granulation tissue formation and wound dehiscence [11, 12]. It is relatively unique to CGD that wound dehiscence is treated most effectively with systemic corticosteroids, which rapidly reverse it.…”

“…In one series of ten children with CGD who underwent surgery, 30 % experienced wound dehiscence [12]. In a separate series of patients undergoing colonic resections, 75 % (3/4) of patients receiving a colostomy developed pyoderma gangrenosum, two of whom required additional surgical interventions [13].…”
