Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD)
Symptoms of CGD
Symptoms of chronic granulomatous disease usually first appear during early childhood but sometimes not until adolescence. Chronic infections occur in the skin, lungs, lymph nodes, mouth, nose, urinary tract, and intestine. People may have a bone infection ( Osteomyelitis ). Pockets of pus (abscesses) can develop around the anus and in the lungs and liver. The Overview of the Lymphatic System tend to fill with bacteria and enlarge. The skin over the lymph nodes may break down and allow pus to drain. The liver and spleen enlarge. Children may grow slowly.
