Chronic Granulotomous Disease
       Data are from a placebo controlled trial of gamma interferon in
 chronic granulotomous disease (CGD). 
   Uses the complete data on time to first serious infection observed through
end of study for each patient, which includes the initial serious infections
observed through the 7/15/89 interim analysis data cutoff, plus the residual
data on occurence of initial serious infections between the interim analysis
cutoff and the final blinded study visit for each patient.
   Only one patient was taken off on the day of his last infection.
