Abstract :
Chronic granulomatous disease is a rare primary immunodeficiency
disorder, which leads to increased susceptibility to recurrent
infections and severe inflammatory manifestations. There have been
reports regarding different aspects of genitourinary involvement in
chronic granulomatous disease, some of which are hydronephrosis,
granulomatous cystitis, and glomerulonephritis, but among these
complications, amyloidosis is rather rare. We report a patient with
chronic granulomatous disease that developed amyloidosis later
in the course of the disease.
