Abstract
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare X-linked or autosomal recessive disorder of early childhood due to defective nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase enzyme in leukocytes. It increases susceptibility to infections by catalase-positive bacteria and fungi. We report a case of an 18-year-old man with CGD who presented to the hospital with septic shock due to bacteremia, pneumonia, and osteomyelitis due to multiple rare microorganisms. Despite aggressive management, he did not survive. Increasing awareness about the common infections in this rare disease, their prevention, and lifelong treatment is warranted.
