Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a primary immune deficiency in which the phagocytic system is affected. The disease is inherited X-linked or autosomal recessive and is characterized by life-threatening bacterial and fungal infections. Invasive fungal infections are one of the most important causes of mortality in this disease. Here, we discuss an 8-year-old male patient with CGD considering literature. The patient developed invasive aspergillus infection due to the pet bird. Here, it is aimed to emphasize that pets may be a possible source of Aspergillus infection in people with CGD and that surgically obtained tissue cultures may be required for diagnosis.
