Abstract

Good's syndrome (GS) or thymoma‑associated immunodeficiency is a rare clinical syndrome with poor prognosis. The varied and unspecified clinical manifestations of GS commonly lead to a missed or delayed diagnosis. Thus, misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis are common. The present case study reports on a patient who suffered from a relapsed bloodstream infection caused by Alcaligenes sp. 6 months after thymectomy. The patient was finally diagnosed with GS after analyzing the clinical features and detecting T‑lymphocyte subsets in the peripheral blood and humoral immune function. The patient's condition improved after anti‑infection treatment and supplementation with intravenous immunoglobulin. Furthermore, no infection was observed during the 1‑year follow‑up.
