SYNOPSIS Three related patients with chronic granulomatous disease are described. Two are brothers and one a half‐brother; all have the same mother. The purpose of this paper is to stress that an X‐linked genetic defect is probably involved in this condition, although there may be other modes of inheritance. This is thought to be the first report of chronic granulomatous disease in Australian children.
