- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 10-month-old diagnosed with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) and Kawasaki disease (KD). The role of immunoglobulin resistance in KD with CGD is outlined. An overview on the basic pathophysiology of CGD is provided which is caused by a defect in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-oxidase.
