What are the treatments for chronic granulomatous disease (CGD)?

Your doctor will ask about your family medical history and order several tests to diagnose CGD. These tests include:

• Physical exam: During a physical exam, doctors can look for inflammation and granulomas.
• Blood tests: Doctors use blood tests, including specialized tests called DHR or nitroblue tetrazolium, that add chemicals to a sample of blood to measure white blood cells’ ability to make reactive oxygen species
• Genetic testing: A doctor studies a sample of blood or tissue to identify a faulty gene that causes CGD.
