Respirol Case Rep. 2021 Dec 1;10(1):e0888. doi: 10.1002/rcr2.888. eCollection 2022 Jan.

Abstract

Good's syndrome is an acquired combined T- and B-cell immunodeficiencies and patients are prone to opportunistic infections. The diagnosis is based on a characteristic immunoglobulin and lymphocyte subset profile, with clinical features of thymoma. Despite thymectomy, the immunodeficiencies persist and lifelong immunoglobulin replacement is necessary to prevent infections.

Keywords: Good's syndrome; hypogammaglobulinaemia; renal cell carcinoma; thymoma.
