| Summary: | 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.
