Staphylococcus aureus and Hyper-IgE Syndrome

Acute respiratory distress syndrome due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus sepsis in hyper-IgE syndrome.

We report the case of a 34 year old woman with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) sepsis with hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome (HIES). Although chemotactic activity of neutrophils was impaired in this patient, neutrophils accumulated in the lungs as assessed by bronchoalveolar lavage...

Molecular Typing of Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Patients with Autosomal Dominant Hyper IgE Syndrome

Autosomal dominant hyper IgE syndrome (AD-HIES) is a primary immunodeficiency caused by a loss-of-function mutation in the Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3). This immune disorder is clinically characterized by increased susceptibility to cutaneous and sinopulmonary infections, in particular with Candida and Staphylococcus aureus. It has recently been recognized that the...

معرفی یک مورد سندرم ازدیاد Hyper-IgE Syndrome) IgE)

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...

Hyper-IgE syndrome

Autosomal dominant hyper-IgE syndrome

Th e hyper-IgE recurrent infection syndromes (HIES) comprise a group of primary immunodefi ciency dis orders that exhibit markedly elevated IgE levels, recur rent staphylococcal skin abscesses, eczema and pulmonary infections. Both autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive forms of the disorder have been described. Most autosomal dominant HIES (AD-HIES) have been found to be due to mutations i...
