Eosinophilic cystitis is an uncommon disease in children, and its association with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) has been previously reported in only five patients. In all those patients the disease showed either a self-limited benign course or a rapid response to corticosteroid treatment. The authors describe a child with X-linked CGD who developed eosinophilic cystitis with a recurrent course and difficult therapeutic management. The authors also discuss the pathogenesis of granuloma formation in CGD and review the literature for current therapies for these complications.

We report on an infant with features of intermittent obstructive uropathy, acute kidney injury, hypertension and type 4 renal tubular acidosis (RTA) despite urethral catheterisation and fluid resuscitation. Radiological findings showed upper tract dilatation, likely bilateral vesicoureteric junction obstruction and bladder base thickening which was concerning for possible malignancy. Renal biopsy demonstrated eosinophilic infiltrate, suggestive of kidney involvement.
