Résumé / Abstract

Chronic granulomatous disease is a rare disorder of phagocytic cell oxidative metabolism. Patients have recurrent infections with catalase positive organisms and granulomatous lesions throughout the body. The genitourinary tract can be an occult site of involvement. We reviewed the prevalence of urological abnormalities in 60 patients with chronic granulomatous disease. Chart review revealed that 23 of the 60 patients (38%) had urological manifestations. Seven patients had 10 ureteral strictures. Treatment of the granulomatous strictures with steroids caused at least a temporary decrease in size or a resolution of the granulomas and relief of the obstruction
