The hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome, or Job's syndrome is a rare primary
immunodeficiency characterized by recurrent skin abscesses, recurrent respiratory
tract infections, and high levels of IgE, eosinophilia, bone and dental changes. We
report the case of a fourteen-year-old male patient presenting this disease, with
both typical and also some relatively sporadic manifestations. We performed a
literature review on the syndrome and its associated clinical findings.
