Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia in a X-linked chronic granulomatous disease female carrier

The X-chromosome linked (XL) female carriers of chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) are considered to have no risk for infection. Herein we present a female CGD XL-carrier who developed Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia and Serratia marcescens infection associated with age-related skewing of X-chromo...
