A 10-year-old female is brought to the pediatrician by her parents because of a low-grade fever. The physician notes that the girl has featured pale skin and bright blue eyes, which the mother states have been present since birth. The physician diagnoses the girl with a staphylococcal infection and prescribes a course of antibiotics. Three months later, the child returns to the pediatrician with fever and a sore throat, which was diagnosed as a streptococcal infection. A review of the patient’s medical records indicates that she has had repeated episodes of staphylococcal and streptococcal infections for her entire life. This patient most likely has which of the following types of immune deficiency?

A)  Chédiak-Higashi disease
