Lymphadenitis is one of the most striking findings in chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). Re-current infections with catalase positive microorganisms cause mortality and morbidity in these patients. Although hematopoetic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has many complications, it is the only curative treatment in CGD. The patient in this report presented with a persistent left axil-lary lymphadenopathy and was diagnosed with X-linked CGD. The patient underwent a fully HLA-matched unrelated donor HSCT, and full donor chimerism was provided.

Keywords: chronic granulomatous disease, lymphadenopathy, hematopoetic stem cell transplantation

Lenfadenit, kronik granülomatöz hastalığın (KGH) en belirgin bulgularından biridir. Katalaz pozi-tif mikroorganizmalarla tekrarlayan enfeksiyonlar, bu hastalarda mortalite ve morbiditeye neden olurlar. Hematopoetik kök hücre naklinden (HKHN) sonra pek çok komplikasyon görülmesine rağmen, KGH’deki tek kesin tedavi yöntemidir. Bu çalışmadaki olgumuz, persistan sol aksiller lenfadenopati ile başvurmuş olup bu sayede X’e bağlı KGH tanısı almıştır. Hastaya HLA tam uyumlu aile dışı vericiden başka bir merkezde HKHN yapıldı ve tam donör kimerizm sağ-landı.

Anahtar Kelimeler: kronik granülomatöz hastalık, lenfadenopati, kök hücre nakli
