Abstract: | A 21-year-old male patient developed an acute septic clinical picture with intra-abdominal abscesses and multiorgan failure. The underlying disease was chronic granulomatous disease, an inherited disorder of granulocyte function caused by failure of intracellular superoxide production. In spite of surgical procedures and a calculated antibiotic and antimycotic therapy, the patient died within a few days from septic shock. This case report describes the typical problems of patients with a congenital immunodeficiency who grow out of the care of highly specialised pediatric-immunological departments. |
