Chronic Granulomatous Disease Treatments

Medications

• Antibiotics—used for preventative and fungal treatments, and new infections
• Interferon gamma —reduces the number of infections in patients; not useful in acute (newly active) infections

Bone Marrow Transplantation

Bone marrow transplantation may be an option. A suitable donor will need to be found. It is a definitive cure.

Surgery

Surgery may involve the debridement or removal of abscesses.

Vaccines

Some live viral vaccines should be avoided. You should consult with an immunologist before receiving one.
