Abstract

Currently, a national consensus or guideline for diagnosing and managing patients suspected of having chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is lacking. This consensus is written based on a combination of scien- tific literature and comments from the expert panel of Iranian immunologists. A group of clinical immunol- ogists reviewed the current consensus, presented their comments at a meeting titled “First Meeting on the Diagnosis of Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEI) by IEI Experts” and agreed on this consensus. This consensus guideline provides recommendations on the diagnosis, antimicrobial prophylaxis, management of clinical manifestations, administration of interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for patients with CGD.
