Chronic Granulomatous Disease is listed as a "rare disease" by the Office of Rare Diseases (ORD) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This means that Chronic Granulomatous Disease, or a subtype of Chronic Granulomatous Disease, affects less than 200,000 people in the US population.

The term 'prevalence' of Chronic Granulomatous Disease usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Chronic Granulomatous Disease at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Chronic Granulomatous Disease refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Chronic Granulomatous Disease diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence. For more information see about prevalence and incidence statistics.
