Abstract:
We present a 5-year-old boy with a severe form of X-linked chronic granulomatous disease and hypersensitivity to sulphamides preventing prophylaxis with trimethoprim-sulphomethoxazole. Bone marrow transplantation was performed after preconditioning with busulphan and cyclophosphamide. The immediate post-transplant period was with-out complications. Complete chimerism was demonstrated and post-transplant oxidative metabolism was normal. The patient is asymptomatic 30 months after the graft.
