Abstract: (13337 Views) |
| CGD is a rare primary immune deficiency which was first described
in children.
This disease is mainly seen in children but occasional cases have
also been reported in adults. We, hereby, report the first case of
CGD associated with lymphocytic bronchiolitis in an adult. The
patient is a 40 year old presenting with cough, purulent sputum,
dyspnea, and weight loss who received two courses of anti
mycobacterial treatment. Based on the findings of chest CT scan,
an open lung biopsy was performed and a diagnosis of lymphocytic
bronchiolitis was made and appropriate treatment was initiated. It is
concluded that in patients with granulomatous lesions who lack
strong evidence of tuberculosis, one should not start anti
mycobacterial treatment and must always consider CGD in the
differential diagnosis. |
