Abstract
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a primary immunodeficiency associated to multiple life-threatening bacterial and fungal infections, beginning in childhood. There are rare cases of diagnosis in adulthood. We describe here two cases of late diagnosis in adults: a 45-year-old woman and 59-year-old-man. CGD diagnosis should be considered in adult patients with unexplained infectious diseases with tissue granuloma.Entities:
