Chronic granulomatous disease is a genetic defect in phagocytosis. There is an absence of reactive oxygen species which are essential for the destruction of microorganisms. There are two types of chronic granulomatous disease according to the inheritance pattern, the X-linked recessive and autosomal recessive; the former is the most frequent and severe. There are different techniques for screening the disease. They are based in measuring the production of reactive oxygen species in neutrophils. The reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium and dihydrorhodamine 1,2,3 tecnique are widely used. The latter has the advantage that in addition to be useful as an screening test, it is also useful for detecting the pattern of inheritance and post-transplant chimerism. In this paper we describe the experience of using the dihydrorhodamine in chronic granulomatous disease in Mexico.
