Abstract

A 3-year-old girl is described who had laboratory and histopathologic features which placed her within the spectrum of chronic granulomatous disease of childhood. Her illness differed from that of previously described patients with phagocytic dysfunction syndromes in that her leukocyte nitroblue tetrazolium values progressively decreased over the period of observation, and depression of cell-mediated immunity was identified by several parameters.
