Reconstitution of protection against Aspergillus infection in chronic granulomatous disease (CGD).

摘要

We would like to comment on the recent paper by Bianchi and coworkers.1 Patients diagnosed with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) suffer from recurrent and life-threatening infections. Analysis of clinical data from 429 European CGD patients recently confirmed that Aspergillus is a major threat, causing mostly pneumonia but also brain abscesses.
