Abstract:

INCREASED SUSCEPTIBILITY to infection is a hallmark of chronic granulomatous disease of childhood (1), an inherited disorder in which phagocytic cells are unable to kill certain types of ingested organisms (2). We present a case of Aspergillus fumigatus pneumonitis in a 17-year-old boy with chronic granulomatous disease, whose infection may have been acquired through inhalation of smoke from marijuana contaminated with fungi.
