Unexpected cystoscopic images in a patient with Chronic Granulomatous Disease
Chronic Granulomatous Disease is a primary immunodeficiency syndrome caused by a phagocytic defect, characterized by recurrent, life-threatening bacterial and fungal infections and an excessive inflammatory response. We present the case of a boy with disease's symptoms mainly from the genitouri...

description | Chronic Granulomatous Disease is a primary immunodeficiency syndrome caused by a phagocytic defect, characterized by recurrent, life-threatening bacterial and fungal infections and an excessive inflammatory response. We present the case of a boy with disease's symptoms mainly from the genitourinary tract. We describe diagnostic difficulties and atypical cystoscopic images, which showed bright morphotic elements of unclear etiology moving in the vessels of the bladder mucosa. These lesions were retrospectively interpreted as clusters of white blood cells (granulomas). Due to the lack of description of a similar phenomenon in the literature, we would like to make the recorded endoscopic images available. |
