    This case study highlights a patient with hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome, characterized by severe skin infections and high IgE levels. The findings emphasize the varied clinical presentations of this rare immune disorder.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome (HIES) is a rare primary immunodeficiency.
    • Key features include recurrent infections, eczema, and elevated IgE.

    Observation:

    • A 24-year-old woman presented with recurrent staphylococcal skin infections from infancy.
    • She exhibited extremely high serum IgE (25,000 units/ml) and defective neutrophil chemotaxis.
    • Skin biopsy revealed dermal edema, eosinophilic perivascular infiltrate, and increased mast cells.

    Findings:

    • The patient displayed peripheral blood eosinophilia and cutaneous candidiasis.
    • Notably, she lacked a history of asthma, hay fever, or atopic dermatitis.
    • No systemic infections were reported in this case.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of the clinical spectrum of HIES.
    • It underscores that atopic dermatitis is not a universal feature of HIES.
    • Highlights the importance of considering HIES in patients with recurrent skin infections and elevated IgE.
