Abstract

Introduction: Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is classically known as phagocytic system disease. However, in recent years, the observation of the development of autoimmunity, colitis-like findings during follow-up has suggested that the acquired immune system may also be defective. The aim of this project is to investigate the percent of T and B lymphocytes, and function of T lymphocytes in patients with CGD and carriers.
