Good’s syndrome is a rare adult-onset combined immunodeficiency. The association of hypogammaglobulinaemia with a history of recurrent infectious or autoimmune manifestations in a middle-aged patient with evidence of a mediastinal mass should lead to the clinical suspicion of Good’s syndrome. The mortality rate associated with infectious complications is high. Thus, although it is rare, the disease should be diagnosed early so that proper treatment can be started. Thymectomy and immunoglobulin replacement are the main therapeutic strategies. We describe the case of a patient with a history of thymoma and recurrent respiratory infections, with a late diagnosis of Good’s syndrome in the context of severe organizing pneumonia secondary to COVID-19.

Die wenigen Studien zum kognitiven Training bei Patienten mit früh beginnender Schizophrenie (Early-Onset-Schizophrenia, EOS) zeigten einen geringeren Behandlungserfolg als das kognitive Training bei Patienten, die als Erwachsene erkrankt sind (Adult-Onset-Schizophrenia, AOS). Eine Sekundäranalyse zweier Studien prüfte jetzt, ob ein auditorisches Training (AT) bei beiden Patientengruppen unterschiedlich wirksam ist.
