    Author: Hori J, Yamaguchi S, Watanabe M, Osanai H, Hori M.
    Journal: Int J Urol; 2008 Apr; 15(4):372-3. PubMed ID: 18380833.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of a 32-year-old man with hyper IgE syndrome (Job syndrome) who developed Fournier gangrene due to infectious multiple atheromas of the scrotal skin that progressed to the right groin and thigh. The patient required surgical debridement and subsequent skin grafting. This is a rare case of Fournier gangrene associated with hyper IgE syndrome (Job syndrome). When a patient without diabetes mellitus has repeated infections and atopic-like dermatitis, Job syndrome should be considered.
