    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Dermatology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Job's syndrome, also known as Hyper IgE syndrome, is a primary immunodeficiency.
    • It is characterized by a distinct triad: eczema, recurrent skin abscesses, and elevated serum IgE.
    • Fair skin and red hair are common physical characteristics.

    Observation:

    • This case report details a patient with a classic presentation of Job's syndrome.
    • The patient exhibited typical clinical features, including recurrent cold staphylococcal skin abscesses.
    • Otolaryngological manifestations of immune deficiencies were also reviewed.

    Findings:

    • Job's syndrome presents with recurrent bacterial infections, particularly staphylococcal skin abscesses.
    • Head and neck infections are significant clinical expressions of the syndrome.
