Abstract            :  Background: HLA-matched hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the curative treatment for chronic granulomatous disease (CGD).

Objective: To report a case of X-linked CGD with active infection successfully treated by haploidentical HSCT with post-transplant high dose cyclophosphamide (PTCY).

Methods: A 5-year-old Thai boy with CGD was undergone for haploidentical HSCT using PTCY with correction of the phagocytic function. He presented with Chromobacterium violaceum liver abscess at the age of 9 months and experienced recurrent perianal abscess and invasive pulmonary aspergillosis even receiving antimicrobial prophylaxis. PTCY was given on day 3 and 4, after CD34+ cells infusion.

Results: The peripheral blood-nucleated cell chimerism showed 100% on day 16 and remained 100%. Dihydrorhodamine (DHR) assay on day 108 and day 214 showed normal results. Currently at 22 months post HSCT, he does not receive antibiotic and anti-fungal prophylaxis.

Conclusions: Haploidentical HSCT with PTCY could be an effective treatment option for children with CGD.
