Patient 2 Patient 2 is a 33-year-old male, brother of patient 1, who presented to the emergency department (ED) for worsening fever up to 39.1° Celsius, fatigue, cough and dyspnea. In this case series, three patients likely infected with the Omicron variant presented with mild symptoms and were treated in an outpatient setting (patients 3, 4, 5), while the other two patients were infected with the Delta variant and presented complicated disease courses. One patient was admitted shortly in an ICU due to acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (patient 1) and one patient required repeated hospitalizations for persistent non-severe disease (patient 2). Other treatments, such as antiviral therapies, have been reported in the treatment of XLA patients with COVID-19 with successful outcomes and could also be considered for these patients.
