As described in literature, CGD usually complicates with frequent gram pos. (but not gram neg.) infections. Does anyone know about the severity (i.e. severe sepsis, septic shock, need of ICU administration) of these infections? And about treatment? How well reacts these patient to antibiotic treatment?
Hi,
very nice reviews from Vinh, Lancet Infect Dis 11; Kuhns, DB, NEJM 2010 and Falcone Curr Opin Infect Dis 12. Watch out mainly from Gram (+) indeed but also mold infections and especially breakthrough fungi since those patients are under long-term antifungals.
See u,
