Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by recurrent, life-threatening bacterial and fungal infections of the skin, the airways, the lymph nodes, the liver, the brain and the bones. Frequently found pathogens are Staphylococcus aureus, Aspergillus species, Klebsiella species, Burkholderia cepacia, Serratia marcescens and Salmonella species. SOURCES OF DATA: CGD is a rare (∼1:250 000 individuals) disease caused by mutations in any one of the five components of the NADPH oxidase in phagocytic leucocytes. This enzyme generates superoxide and is essential for intracellular killing of pathogens by phagocytes. AREAS OF AGREEMENT: CGD patients suffer not only from life-threatening infections, but also from excessive inflammatory reactions. AREAS OF CONTROVERSY: Neither the cause of these inflammatory reactions nor the way to treat them is clear. AREAS TIMELY FOR DEVELOPING RESEARCH: Patient selection for and timing of bone marrow transplantation along with gene therapy.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Patients lacking functional NADPH oxidase are more susceptible to microbial infections.

    “Individuals with CGD have persistent bacterial and fungal infections due to defects in NOx [94].”

    From The Role of Reactive Species on Innate Immunity (2022) · cites this paper as [94]

  • NADPH oxidase NOx, as an •O2− producer, is essential for microbial destruction.

    “NADPH oxidase NOx, as an •O2− producer is essential for microbial destruction, and patients lacking this functional oxidase are more susceptible to microbial infections.”

    From The Role of Reactive Species on Innate Immunity (2022) · cites this paper as [94]

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
