Haemophilus influenzae pneumonia and immunodeficiency in association with thymoma-A presentation of Good's Syndrome
2011, Revista Portuguesa de PneumologiaCitation Excerpt :In terms of laboratory findings, anaemia is commonly associated with immunodeficiency and is seen in up to 50% of patients. The cause of anemia may well be pure red cell aplasia,5 pernicious anemia6 or hemolytic anemia.7 The most common micro-organisms associated with Good's Syndrome are encapsulated bacteria.
Good's syndrome remains a mystery after 55 years: A systematic review of the scientific evidence
2010, Clinical ImmunologyCitation Excerpt :We used the simultaneous presence of thymoma and hypogammaglobulinemia as the minimal diagnostic criteria for a diagnosis of Good Syndrome. Using the key terms, 241 patients with the syndrome were reported in 188 studies [1,2,5–190], 113 (46.9%, 113/241) patients were reported in Europe [1,5,7–9,11,12,15,16,18,21–25,28,31,32,34,35,38,39,43,46,47,49,50,53,54,57,58,120,124–128,135,136,140,179,181,184,185], 71 (29.5%, 71/241) in America [2,27,29,36,44,45,70,74,85,95,99,105,110,113,116,122,132,134,137–139,142,146,147,149,150,152,154,156,159,166–169,172–176,180,182,183,187–190], 55 (22.8%, 55/241) in Asia [6,10,13,14,17,19,20,26,30,33,37,40–42,48], 1 (0.4%,1/241) in Africa [93], 1 (0.4%,1/241) in Oceania [76]. 134 of these studies were from the English literature [1,2,5-10,13-23,25–32,35–42,44–46,51–54,56–60,64,65,69,70,73–78,81–83,85–88,93–99,101,102–105,108,110,112–117,119,122–124,127,128,132–142,144–150,152,154–157,159,166–169,171–176,179,180–190].
