An 18-year-old male with chronic sinusitis, Marfanoid joint hypermobility syndrome, and sensorineural hearing loss due to connexin-26 deficiency with bilateral cochlear implants. This patient's mutation is a GJB2 deletion located on chromosome 13 which encodes for the connexin-26 protein.

The leukocyte counts were within normal limits. His parents are connexin-26 deficient carriers, and his older brother was diagnosed with SIGMD. Connexin-26 has been identified with multiple immunological mechanisms.

Data from the beginning of the pandemic were systematically obtained through questionnaires by telephonic interviews and retrieved from electronic patient files between October 15, 2020 and January 29, 2021. Main outcomes were confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, disease duration, hospitalization, intensive care admission, and mortality. Questions regarding applied social distancing measures were inventoried as well.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Three hundred and eighty nine patients (median age 39.1 (18.7-84.7) years, 69.9% female) and 441 household members (median age 42.0 (18.0-91.5), 44.1% female) were included. The cumulative COVID-19 incidence in patients was higher compared with the general population (10.5% vs 5.6%, <i>P</i> < .001). In total, 41 (10.5%) patients attending the allergy clinic compared to 38 (8.6%) household members were infected with SARS-CoV-2 (<i>P</i> = .407).
