Atopic Dermatitis or Hyper IgE Syndrome?

Atopic dermatitis or hyper-IgE syndrome?

A case of atopic dermatitis (AD), recurrent infections, and elevated immunoglobulin E (IgE) level is presented. Clinical characteristics, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management in this patient are reviewed. Clinical pearls and pitfalls include the following: (1) deep-seeded Staphylococcus aureus infections occur rarely in AD and should raise the possibility of immunodeficiency syndromes suc...

Hypereosinophilia, hyper-IgE syndrome, and atopic dermatitis in a toddler with food hypersensitivity.

We describe a 20-month-old girl with hypereosinophilia, hyper-immunoglobulin (Ig) E syndrome, and atopic dermatitis. Her peripheral eosinophil count and IgE plasma levels were 2.65 x 10(9)/L and 6702 IU/mL, respectively. Specific IgE levels for a variety of foods and inhalants were high and single-blind food challenges were positive for cow's milk, hen's egg, oat, wheat, and soy. When the patie...

Diagnostic approach to the hyper-IgE syndromes: immunologic and clinical key findings to differentiate hyper-IgE syndromes from atopic dermatitis.

BACKGROUND Hyper-IgE syndromes (HIES) are primary immunodeficiency disorders characterized by Staphylococcus aureus abscesses, recurrent pneumonia, increased serum IgE levels, and eczema. The association of heterozygous signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) mutations with autosomal dominant (AD)-HIES allows the differentiation of AD-HIES from disorders associated with eczem...

Hyper IgE syndrome (Job’s syndrome) is a primary immunodeficiency disease with recurrent infections especially staphylococcal, coarse face, skeletal abnormality and significant increase in serum IgE level (IgE >2000IU/ml). We present a 16 years old boy admitted with chronic cough, dyspnea, eczema and pneumatocele. He had a history of chronic dermal infection since 1 month after birth. The dia...
