خلاصه مقاله
A 4.5-year-old boy presented to the hospital with three weeks of fever, cough, and weight loss was later diagnosed with a case of chronic granulomatous disease and invasive pulmonary aspergillosis. He was initially started on empiric treatment for community-acquired pneumonia. Suspicion of TB led to the addition of anti-TB therapy. However, his condition further deteriorated to warrant the persistence of investigations that eventually yielded an immunodeficiency with Aspergillus species. He responded quite well to a combination antifungal therapy including liposomal amphotericin B and voriconazole. This case therefore is an emphasis that CGD shall be considered in patients with recurrent infections with opportunistic pathogens.
