3. Chronic Granulomatous Disease Related Infections

Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) is a genetic condition that affects the immune system, making it harder for the body to fight off certain infections. Individuals with CGD are particularly vulnerable to bacterial and fungal infections, as their immune cells cannot produce substances that kill these germs effectively. Consequently, they may develop persistent or severe infections, leading to the formation of granulomas—clusters of immune cells that accumulate in response to these infections. People with CGD need careful management and antibiotic treatments to prevent and control infections, as well as regular medical monitoring.
