Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a hereditary disorder of neutrophil with defective killing and digesting of ingested catalase-positive bacteria or fungi in spite of normal phagocytosis. Dissemination of ingested live organisms results in multiple granuloma in reticuloendothelial system and multiple abscesses manifested by recurrent pus-draining suppurative lymphadenopathy, subcutanous abscess, or impetiginous skin rahses, pheumonitis, and hepatosplenomegaly, ultimately resulting in death.
