Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a genetically induced disease caused by mutations in one of the components of the NADPH-oxidase in phagocytes, characterized by life-threatening bacterial and fungal infections and granuloma formation. Treatment includes prevention of infectious complications and immunomodulation. However, a standard strategy is not yet defined. The authors report an X-linked CGD female carrier who presented during adulthood with diarrhea and colorectal ulcers, with high impairment of quality of life. Induction with infliximab 5 mg/kg (weeks 0, 2, and 6) with infectious prophylaxis was initiated. She continued infliximab 5 mg/kg every 8 weeks with complete symptomatic response at 15 months.
慢性肉芽肿病(CGD)是一种由吞噬细胞中烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸磷酸(NADPH)氧化酶的一种成分发生突变引起的遗传性疾病,其特征为危及生命的细菌和真菌感染以及肉芽肿形成。治疗包括预防感染并发症和免疫调节。然而,尚未确定标准策略。作者报告了一名成年期出现腹泻和结肠直肠溃疡、生活质量严重受损的X连锁CGD女性携带者。开始使用英夫利昔单抗5 mg/kg(第0、2和6周)诱导治疗并进行感染预防。她每8周继续使用英夫利昔单抗5 mg/kg,15个月时症状完全缓解。
