Abstract
-
Chronic granulomatous disease(CGD) is a rare inherited disorder of phagocytic cells which results in a susceptibility to infections by catalase-positive bacteria and fungi, as well as granuloma formation. And acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis(APSGN) is one of the most common glomerular lesions of gross hematuria in children. We experienced a case of APSGN accompanied with CGD presenting with a liver granuloma.
