Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare primary immunodeficiency disorder that is characterized by deficiencies in the phagocytes capacity to eliminate ingested microorganisms, which frequently causes bacterial and fungal infections. The extensive involvement of the lungs, ribs, and vertebrae that is complicated by multiple abscesses from aspergillosis is rare. in this study, we report a 13-year-old boy with CGD who experienced concurrent pneumonia, rib osteomyelitis, spondylodiscitis, paravertebral, and epidural abscesses as a result of infection with associated computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging findings. Patients with CGD are susceptible to infection. Correct diagnosis based on clinical and paraclinical findings as well as choosing the best treatment regimen is essential for achieving a favorable outcome.
