Abstract

Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) is a primary immunodeficiency disorder, which is almost always characterized by impairment of the function of leukocytes and generally presents with recurrent chronic relapsing bacterial or fungal infection. This study reported a three-year-old boy who was referred to the Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Center of Shohada Khalij-e-Fars general hospital, Bushehr with recurrent lymphadenitis, and orchitis, who suffered from this disease. Since confirmation of diagnosis, he is receiving Co-trimoxazole three times per week as prophylaxis, and the plan for him is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
