title: [Systemic lupus erythematosus in a boy with chronic granulomatous disease: case report and review of the literature].
abstract: The association of chronic granulomatosis disease (CGD) with autoimmune diseases such as lupus has been described but remains rare. K… is a boy born of a consanguineous marriage. In the family history, two brothers had died at a young age. He had been followed up since the age of 6 months for CGD. At 11 years of age, he developed malar rash, cheilitis, oral ulceration, and photosensitivity. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was confirmed by the presence of high levels of antinuclear antibodies. This observation demonstrates that with the clinical association of recurrent infections and skin lesions the diagnosis of CGD with SLE must be considered.
