Good syndrome (GS) is a rare acquired immunodeficiency disease characterized by the presence of thymoma with combined B and T cell immunodeficiency in adults. Recurrent bacterial infections, particularly sinopulmonary infections caused by encapsulated bacteria, remain the most common infective presentation of GS; however, relapsing viral infections have also been reported, likely due to impaired T cell-mediated immunity. Relapsing COVID-19 infection, however, has not been previously reported as a manifestation of GS. We present two cases of relapsing COVID-19 infection in patients with GS; in one case, relapsing COVID-19 was the first manifestation of newly diagnosed GS.
Good 综合征(GS)是一种罕见的获得性免疫缺陷病,其特征是成年人存在胸腺瘤伴 B 和 T 细胞联合免疫缺陷。复发性细菌感染,特别是由囊膜细菌引起的肺感染,仍然是 GS 最常见的感染表现;然而,也有报道称复发性病毒感染,可能是由于 T 细胞介导的免疫受损。然而,复发性 COVID-19 感染以前并未被报道为 GS 的表现。我们报告了 2 例 GS 患者的复发性 COVID-19 感染病例;在 1 例病例中,复发性 COVID-19 是新诊断的 GS 的首发表现。
