Thank you for following up. The chronic granulomatous disease accompanies recurrent infection due to the decreased immune system:
-pneumonia
-abscesses of the skin and organs
-suppurative arthritis
-osteomyelitis
-bacteremia/fungemia
-superficial skin infections such as impetigo,streptodermia
-Atypical infections( fungus, Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida). The most common organisms that cause disease are:
bacteria(Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, Klebsiella, Nocardia and etc), fungi.
Take care
