Abstract:
Job's syndrome is an inflammatory skin disease characterized by (1) severe eczema, (2) recurrent staphylococcal infections of the skin and sinopulmonary tract, (3) cold subcutaneous abscesses, and (4) high serum IgE levels. We describe a 55-year-old woman with long-standing atopic dermatitis-like eczema, recurrent abscesses, and a high level of serum IgE. We suspected this case as Job's syndrome.
