Hyper-IgE Syndrome

  • Snapshot
    • A 7-year-old child presents to the emergency room for painful bumps on his knee. He had fallen a few days ago and scraped his knee. Since then, he has had increasingly painful bumps develop. There is some pus drainage but no erythema and no warmth. The lesions are cool to the touch. On physical exam, he is noted to have retained primary teeth, eczematous patches on his cheeks, and 2 cold abscesses on his right knee. He is started on antibiotics, and Ig levels are sent to the laboratory. Only IgE is elevated. A complete blood count with differential shows increased eosinophils.
