He had undergone a thymectomy in the year 2017 for a thymoma. He had no symptoms consistent with myasthenia gravis. He had a history of COVID pneumonia in November 2021 and another episode in July 2022, following which he made a full recovery. The patient also gave a history of recurrent infections of oral candidiasis and herpes labialis, which responded to antifungal and antiviral medications.
