Skin manifestations in congenital deficiency of leucocyte-adherence glycoproteins (CDLG)

Br J Dermatol. 1990 Sep;123(3):395-401. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2133.1990.tb06301.x.

Abstract

In congenital deficiency of leucocyte-adherence glycoproteins (CDLG) there is an immunodeficiency with impaired leucocyte function and cutaneous and extracutaneous infections occur. In more than 30% of cases the condition has a fatal course. We report the skin manifestations of three siblings with CDLG in which areas of skin necrosis occurred that resembled pyoderma gangrenosum.
