The article presents the case of a 10-year-old child with a history of X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) who is experiencing non-productive cough, dysphonia and weight loss for 12 months to discuss chronic granulomatous disease of the upper airway. Also cited are the use of airway endoscopy to confirm friable, edematous mucosa of the supraglottic larynx and the possible causes of CGD like defects in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAPH) oxidase subunits.
