초록
Good’s syndrome is a rare cause of combined B- and T-cell immunodeficiency in adults with a history of thymectomy. The patients with Good’s syndrome are susceptible to encapsulated bacterial infections and opportunistic viral/fungal infections. We report a 63-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with cerebral toxoplasmosis in the middle of monthly immunoglobulin treatment for Good’s syndrome. She was referred owing to progressive dizziness for one week without any neurologic deficits. Although routine laboratory tests and toxoplasma serology exams were within the normal range, brain image studies suggested cerebral toxoplasmosis, which was confirmed by pathology of brain lesions. She was treated with pyrimethamine and sulfadiazine as well as with systemic corticosteroids, and improved without sequelae. Later, her medication was switched to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole as a second-line treatment due to sulfadiazine-related neuropathy.
