RESUMEN
Primary immunodeficiency (PID) Disorders include a variable group of diseases that are classified according to the functional defects encountered. Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is inherited as an X-linked recessive disorder in many cases, and it is the clinical model of disorders of phagocytosis. Skin and solid organs abscesses are the most common presenting symptoms; we will report the case of a four-day-old boy admitted to our hospital for a neck mass with purulent discharges associated with umbilical stump and circumcision site infection; the diagnosis of CGD was later confirmed by the Dihydrorhodamine (DHR) test that turned out to be positive.
