ABSTRACT
Good's syndrome (GS) is a rare cause of acquired combined B- and T-cell immunodeficiency in adults. GS is also known as a rare form of paraneoplastic syndrome of thymoma that may persist after thymectomy. Some reported GS cases have been related to various diseases as a result of humoral immunodeficiency, but no report to date has related GS to cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis in Korea. We report two cases of CMV retinitis as a manifestation of GS with severe cellular immunodeficiency. In the first case, a 61-year-old woman was diagnosed with GS manifesting as CMV retinitis combined with coincident pulmonary tuberculosis and soft-tissue tuberculosis. In the second case, a 56-year-old man had CMV retinitis and CMV pneumonia. Both patients had a history of thymoma and had received total thymectomies, and were diagnosed with GS a few years thereafter.
