Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chédiak-Higashi syndrome, myeloperoxidase deficiency, and chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) are all conditions that result in defective phagocytic processes, leading to chronic bacterial infections. Chédiak-Higashi syndrome is characterized by defects in lysosomal trafficking, which affects phagocytosis. Myeloperoxidase deficiency affects the ability of phagocytes to kill certain organisms inside phagolysosomes. CGD is caused by defects in the NADPH oxidase complex, leading to reduced production of reactive oxygen species necessary for killing bacteria and fungi.
