Journal ArticleDOI

Chronic granulomatous disease. Report on a national registry of 368 patients.

TL;DR: A registry of United States residents with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) was established in 1993 in order to estimate the minimum incidence of this uncommon primary immunodeficiency disease and characterize its epidemiologic and clinical features.
Journal ArticleDOI

Current concepts: immunology; neutrophils in human diseases

TL;DR: HUMAN neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) provide an effective host defense against bacterial and fungal infection, but they are also important in the pathogenesis of tissue damage in certain noninfectious diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic, biochemical, and clinical features of chronic granulomatous disease

TL;DR: The reduced nicotinamide dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase complex allows phagocytes to rapidly convert O2 to superoxide anion which then generates other antimicrobial reactive oxygen intermediates, such as H2O2, hydroxyl anion, and peroxynitrite anion.
