BackgroundChronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inherited defect in components of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase complex that results in potential life-threatening infective and noninfective complications. Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is an unusual but important inflammatory complication of CGD. Optimal management strategies have not yet been identified in children with CGD who develop HLH.ObjectiveTo analyze clinical and laboratory features of HLH in CGD from a tertiary-care center in North India.MethodsA retrospective review of medical records of children with CGD diagnosed in the last 20 years was performed. Clinical and laboratory features of children with CGD who developed HLH were analyzed.ResultsOf 80 patients diagnosed with CGD, 5 (6.25%) had evidence of HLH. All 5 were males; 4 had X-linked CGD and 1 had autosomal recessive CGD (NCF2defect). Two children with CGD had HLH as the predominant presenting manifestation mimicking the clinical presentation of congenital HLH. Infectious triggers identified were bloodstream infections (n = 3) (Candida albicans, Burkholderia cenocepacia, Francisellanoatuensis), pneumonia (n = 4), and splenic abscess (n = 1). We document the first human infection with a fish pathogen,F. noatuensis, in a child with X-linked CGD. Although mortality was seen in 3 children who received only intravenous (IV) immunoglobulin therapy, the other 2 who received IV methylprednisolone pulse therapy survived.ConclusionHLH can be a presenting manifestation of CGD, and workup for CGD must be considered in children with HLH. Early recognition with optimal management of both infectious trigger and HLH is very important to prevent mortality.
