Practice questions on Reactive Oxygen Species
Which of the following diseases primarily affects neutrophil function, leading to recurrent severe bacterial and fungal infections due to an inability of phagocytes to produce reactive oxygen species?
- DiGeorge's syndrome
- Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD)
- Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease (SCID)
- X-linked agammaglobulinemia
Answer: B. Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by defects in NADPH oxidase, impairing phagocytes' ability to produce a respiratory burst and kill ingested microbes effectively.
