Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a phagocytic defect characterized by recurrent bacterial and fungal infections. We report clinical profile of patients with CGD and mycobacterial infections in a cohort from North India. A review of clinical and laboratory records was carried out for patients with CGD registered at our center between 1990 and 2021. Of the 99 patients with CGD, 22 had mycobacterial infections-Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. bovis-BCG in 11 each. Among the children with M. bovis-BCG infection, 6 had localized and 5 had disseminated BCG disease. Median age at onset of symptoms and diagnosis of BCG disease was 5 months and 15 months, respectively. While disseminated forms of BCG were noted only in CYBB defect, none of the patients with NCF1 defect developed complications due to BCG vaccine. A recurring radiological feature was left axillary lymph node calcification, which was present in around 50% of CGD patients with BCG infections. Of 11 patients with tuberculosis, pulmonary, pleuro-pulmonary, abdominal, and disseminated forms were present in 6, 1, 2, and 2, respectively. Median age at onset of symptoms and diagnosis of tuberculosis was 129 months and 130 months, respectively. Molecular defects were identified in CYBB (5), NCF1 (4), and CYBA (1). Incidence of tuberculosis and BCG-related complications in patients with CGD is higher than the normal population. Screening for CGD is warranted in any patient with adverse reactions to BCG vaccination, calcification of left axillary lymph node, and persistent, recurrent or disseminated forms of tuberculosis.
