A family with X-linked cytochrome-negative chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) involving three generations is reported. The diagnosis of CGD in both the latest male patient and the index male was confirmed by marked impairment in polymorphonuclear leucocyte oxidative burst activity in association with absence of both subunits of cytochrome b. The two female carriers have suffered from chronic inflammatory skin disorders characterized by slowly fluctuating erythematous plaques. The reported cases are discussed in the context of a literature review of the dermatosis of CGD.
