摘要
背景:病例:在本病例报告中,我们介绍了一名因反复感染 SARS-CoV-2 而被诊断为 Good 综合征的患者。特别值得注意的是,尽管患者接受了尼马瑞韦-利托那韦的门诊治疗,但仍反复发病。我们描述了患者的表现、诊断和治疗(包括机器人胸腺切除术和 IVIG 被动免疫),并报告了患者的生活质量受益情况:本病例强调了对已知胸腺瘤但反复感染 SARS-CoV-2 的患者进行免疫球蛋白定量检测的重要性。
Diagnosis of Good Syndrome following Recurrent Coronavirus Disease-2019 Infections.
Background: Good syndrome is defined as the co-occurrence of a thymoma and hypogammaglobulinemia.
Case: In this case report, we present a patient who was diagnosed with Good syndrome following recurrent infections with SARS-CoV-2. Of particular note was the patient's repeated presentation despite receiving outpatient treatment with nirmatrelvir-ritonavir. We describe the patient's presentation, diagnosis, and treatment - including robotic thymectomy and passive immunization with IVIG - and report the benefit to quality of life that the patient experienced.
Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of quantitative testing of immunoglobulins in patients with known thymomas who present with recurrent infections of SARS-CoV-2.
