Lymphadenitis Following Infliximab Therapy for Inflammatory Bowel Disease in a Patient With Chronic Granulomatous Disease: Case Report and Literature Review.

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inborn error of immunity caused by inactivating genetic mutations in any one of the components of the phagocyte nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase complex. Phagocytic cell reactive oxygen species generation is impaired in the absence of a functional NADPH oxidase complex. As a result, patients with CGD are at high risk of developing deep-seated infections with certain bacteria and fungi.
