BACKGROUND: Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), one of the phagocytic cell defects, is the primary immunodeficiency caused by dysfunction of the NADPH oxidase complex in neutrophils. METHODS: The clinical, demographic and laboratory findings of 17 CGD patients who were followed-up between 2002 and 2021 were obtained retrospectively from the records of the patients. RESULTS: The number of male and female patients was 10/7. The median age at diagnosis was 5.3 months (range 4-120) for 3 patients with X-CGD, and 42.4 months (range 8-350) for 14 patients with AR-CGD. We have investigated rare CYBA exon 3-6 deletion in 7 patients and hotspot mutation with delGT at the beginning of exon 2 of NCF1 in 5 patients. The most common clinical findings were pneumonia and lymphadenitis with recurrent fever, respectively (41.2%, 35.3%). A total of 154 microbial infections requiring hospital admission (27 in 3 XL and 127 in 14 AR patients) were detected in the follow-up of the patients and median infection number for a patient was 9 in both groups. Eight of 17 patients had stem cell transplantation and the survival rate was 87.5%. CONCLUSIONS: X-CGD patients are more rapidly recognized by family history and severe infections than those with AR-CGD and early prophylaxis may decrease infectious episodes. We have investigated the large deletion suggesting a possible founder effect for CYBA exon 3-6 deletion in Central Anatolia. Additionally, HSCT transplantation leads to a high survival rate for the patients with CGD.
