Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) can cure CGD with resolution of infection and colitis. This study reports the survival and long- term outcome in 20 conditioned patients treated between 1998 and 2007, 2Paediatric Gastroenterology, Newcastle upon using 10 matched sibling (MSD) and 10 unrelated donors (URD). Age at Tyne Hospitals Foundation Trust, 3Regional HSCT, graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), growth, and outcome were Immunology laboratory, Newcastle upon Tyne analysed. Fourteen had ‡1 invasive infection, 10 had colitis and seven had Hospitals Foundation Trust, 4Department of growth failure before HSCT. Median age at transplantation was 75 months Haematology, Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals (range 15 months–21 years). Eighteen (90%) were alive 4–117 months Foundation Trust, and 5Institute of Cellular (median 61) after HSCT with normal neutrophil function. Two died from Medicine, Child Health, University of Newcastle disseminated fungal infection. Two experienced significant chronic GvHD, with continuing sequelae in 1.

HSCT with MSD or URD gave excellent engraftment and survival, remission of colitis and catch-up growth, with low incidence of significant GvHD.

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an X-linked or to colitis with subsequent growth failure (Scha¨ppi et al, 2001; autosomal recessive primary immunodeficiency in which Jones et al, 2008; Martire et al, 2008), gastric outlet obstruc- mutations in genes encoding for nicotinamide adenine dinu- tion (Dickerman et al, 1986), inflammatory lung disease, or cleotide phosphate lead to failure of microcidal oxygen granulomata formation causing genitourinary stricture (Wal- metabolite generation in phagocytes (Roos et al, 2007). This causes impaired microbial killing, susceptibility to bacterial Lifelong antibacterial and antifungal prophylaxis with and fungal infections, granulomata formation leading to cotrimoxazole (Margolis et al, 1990) and itraconazole (Mouy inflammatory disease and premature mortality (Mouy et al, et al, 1994) has improved short and medium term survival 1989; Finn et al, 1990; Liese et al, 2000). Most patients present (Cale et al, 2000). Supportive treatment with gamma inter- with suppurative lymphadenitis, liver abscesses, or recurrent feron (IFNc) may reduce the incidence of opportunistic respiratory infection, mainly caused by catalase-positive infection (The International Chronic Granulomatous Disease micro-organisms, such as Aspergillus species, Staphylococcus Cooperative Study Group, 1991). Steroids and aminosalicy- aureus or Burkholderia cepacia (Jones et al, 2008; Martire et al, lates ameliorate colitis and other inflammatory complications, 2008). Persistent inflammatory reaction to infection may lead but these treatments do not cure the underlying genetic defect.

Nineteen patients had growth (Liese et al, 2000; Jones et al, 2008). Furthermore, X-linked, one autosomal recessive disease (Patient 19). All established fungal infection is difficult to eradicate, and received prophylactic cotrimoxazole and itraconazole, 10 remains a significant cause of infectious mortality (Martire received intermittent courses of IFNc, discontinued at least et al, 2008).

Fourteen had ‡1 invasive unchanged, although the age at which decline begins has been infection before HSCT affecting liver, lung, bone, brain, spleen, postponed (Mouy et al, 1989; Jones et al, 2008; Martire et al, kidney or blood requiring antibiotic and, in some, antifungal 2008). Surprisingly, the outcome for patients with autosomal treatment and surgery. Three patients received granulocyte recessive disease is similar to that of patients with X-linked- infusions. Seven patients had previous severe lung infections, CGD (Jones et al, 2008). Annual mortality remains 2–4%; causing restrictive lung defects in five (Table I) and bronchi- invasive aspergillosis accounts for more than 30% of deaths.
