Abstract
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is characterized by a bactericidal defect involving the oxidative metabolism of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PML) and is most often transmitted as an X-linked trait. The cutaneous features of this disorder include infections and lupus-like rashes. These have been described in female carriers as well as in males with the disease. Two cases of siblings presenting an autosomal form of CGD syndrome, with lupus-like cutaneous manifestations, are reported here.
