Usually, the patient with CGD displays signs and symptoms associated with infections of the skin, lymph nodes, lung, liver, and bone by age 2. Skin infection is characterized by small, well-localized areas of tenderness. Seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp and axilla is also common. Lymph node infection typically causes marked lymphadenopathy with draining lymph nodes and hepatosplenomegaly. Many patients develop liver abscess, which may be recurrent and multiple; abdominal tenderness, fever, anorexia, and nausea point to abscess formation. Other common infections include osteomyelitis, which causes localized pain and fever, pneumonia, and gingivitis with severe periodontal disease.

Doctors may suspect CGD in male infants between three months and two years of age who have had fevers, skin rashes, persistent cough, boils, gum disease, swollen glands or lymph nodes, and enlarged liver and spleen. However, patients with CGD may not develop symptoms until as late as adolescence. Repeated infections can cause tumor-like masses or “granumlomas” to develop in the skin, lungs, lymph nodes, liver, or bones. Granulomas can cause blockage of the gastrointestinal or urinary tracts. The lesions tend to heal slowly and to drain for a long time after treatment. (Source: excerpt from Primary Immune Deficiency, NIAID Fact Sheet: NIAID)
