Chronic Granulomatous Disease of Childhood
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Chronic granulomatous disease of childhood is an inherited disorder of the immune defense system in which certain cells do not properly eliminate some microorganisms, which promotes repeated infections from an early age.
Common symptoms: Frequent infections in the skin, lungs or lymph nodes, as well as inflammations that tend to recur.
Why it happens: It is of genetic origin, so it can appear in several members of the same family.
Who treats it? The allergist and immunologist studies the defects of the immune defense, and the pediatrician closely accompanies the affected child. When a child has infections that come back again and again, it is prudent to seek a specialized evaluation.
