Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) and other phagocytic cell disorders

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inherited disease in which the body’s cells that eat invaders (also called phagocytes) do not make hydrogen peroxide and other chemicals. These chemicals are needed to kill certain bacteria and fungi.
