Chronic granulomatous disease--a case showing long-term survival.
The diagnosis of chronic granulomatous disease of childhood was made in a 10-year-old boy following episodes of recurrent cervical abscesses and ulcerative stomatitis since the age of 4 years. Nineteen years on, on antibiotic prophylaxis, he is now married and remains active although he has been hospitalized with serious complications on many occasions.
