Hyperimmunoglobulinemia E syndrome: pulmonary imaging considerations.

S J Fitch, H L Magill, H G Herrod

    Pediatric Radiology
    |January 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Hyper IgE syndrome, a rare condition, causes recurrent infections and skin issues. Key lung findings include recurrent alveolar disease and pneumatoceles, sometimes leading to pneumothorax.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Pulmonology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome (HIES) is a rare primary immunodeficiency.
    • Characterized by recurrent sinopulmonary infections, eczema, and elevated serum IgE levels.

    Observation:

    • Primary radiographic findings in HIES include recurrent alveolar lung disease and pneumatoceles.
    • Pneumothorax is an occasional complication.
    • Other causes of pneumatoceles are typically differentiated by clinical history and data.

    Findings:

    • Recurrent alveolar lung disease and pneumatoceles are hallmark radiographic abnormalities in Hyper IgE syndrome.
    • Pneumothorax can occur as a complication.

    Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of lung abnormalities in HIES is crucial for patient management.
    • Advanced imaging like CT scans can aid in evaluating and managing pulmonary complications.
