Liver abscesses in chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) are typically difficult to treat and often require surgery. We describe 9 X-linked CGD patients with staphylococcal liver abscesses refractory to conventional therapy successfully treated with corticosteroids and antibiotics. Corticosteroids may have a role in treatment of Staphylococcus aureus liver abscesses in CGD. Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a primary phagocyte defect complicated by a limited spectrum of bacterial and fungal infections as well as dysregulated inflammation. The latter often leads to granuloma formation affecting the gastrointestinal and genitourethral tracts. Five distinct genetic forms affect the components of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate o...
