Abstract

A patient is described who had many features of chronic granulomatous disease of childhood, including life-long history of illness, simultaneous granulomatous and purulent response to an organism of low-grade virulence, presence of “golden histiocytes” in the affected organs, and faulty bactericidal capacity of phagocytes. Differing from the classically described cases were his long survival and the absence of evidence of a sex-linked genetic pattern.
