This case demonstrates a unique presentation of colitis in a post-transplant CGD patient. Since CGD colitis could be excluded due to the patient's recent successful hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, a broad differential diagnosis is required for determining the etiology of this new-onset colitis in this patient with pre-existing chronic granulomatous disease. This case delineates the need for interdisciplinary care and describes a severe case of colitis after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
