Autosomal Recessive Chronic Granulomatous Disease in a Two Week Old Arabic Female and Unusual Carrier State Detected on Flow Cytometry of Asymptomatic Siblings

Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) is a rare disorder characterized by inability of phagocytes to generate oxygen radicals needed for intracellular killing of phagocytic organisms. Patients' family history, positive oxidative burst, consanguineous history, and negative X-linked CGD test confir...
