Hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome, rarely reported, is a syndrome of hyperimmunoglobulinemia E, eczematous skin lesion, and recurrent staphylococcal infections on respiratory system and skin with abscess formation, mostly from early in life. The abscess is not accompanied with fever and bacteremia, that is a characteristic ’cold abscess'. We report a case of 56 year-old woman who manifested this syndrome from adulthood, with the review of literatures. |
