Hypereosinophilic Hyper Ige Syndrome – A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
Hyper immunoglobulin (Ig) E syndrome is a rare complex immunoregulatory disorder characterized by hyperglobulinemia, recurrent bacterial infections and chronic eczematous dermatitis. The onset of this syndrome may occur at any time from early childhood onwards, and may include eosinophilia and osteoarticular and dental abnormalities. The mortality in untreated patients three years after diagnosis can be high as 75%. Cardiac involvement is the most common cause of increased morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis of this condition and starting appropriate therapy is of paramount importance in establishing a diagnosis and decreasing the morbidity and mortality associated with this condition.
