Abstract

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare primary immunodeficiency caused by mutations encoding the NADPH oxidase complex.1 Those affected are at increased risk of bacterial and fungal infections and require antimicrobial prophylaxis. Dysregulated inflammation may cause inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), termed CGD-associated IBD or CGD colitis, a distinct entity from Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC).
