[Antibiotherapy in chronic familial granulomatosis].

Antibacterial therapy in chronic granulomatous disease requires antimicrobials active on Staphylococcus aureus and enterobacteria, which also have a good intracellular penetration and activity as rifampicin, fluoroquinolone, fosfomycin, cotrimoxazole. Several trials showed that cotrimoxazole was effective for the prevention of bacterial infection: thus, this antimicrobial can be used as long-term and continuous prophylaxia. Fungal infections require the use of amphotericin B. The place of new imidazole compounds as itraconazole should be assessed.
