Abstract
We report the outpatient management of three patients with X-linked chronic granulomatous disease, two of whom had episodes of gastric outlet obstruction and another, urinary bladder obstruction. These obstructive conditions were successfully treated with 2-week courses of orally administered corticosteroids with or without the addition of orally administered clindamycin. There were no infectious or other adverse reactions.
