title: Successful completion of pregnancy in a woman with chronic granulomatous disease.
abstract: Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) used to be a fatal illness of childhood and patients rarely survived past the first decade. Although antimicrobial prophylaxis has dramatically reduced mortality and morbidity in recent years, CGD remains a life-threatening condition. We present the successful obstetric course of a patient with CGD.
