  • Title: [Recurrent staphylodermas in marked IgE elevation: the hyper-IgE syndrome].
    Author: Huber A, Mietens C.
    Journal: Klin Padiatr; 1987; 199(6):445-6. PubMed ID: 3431023.
    Abstract:
    This is a report of a 6-year-old boy with repeated staphylococcus infections especially in the hairy region of the head. Investigating the disease an extremely elevated IgE of 10,000 KU/l was found, specific IgE in RAST only at a low level. The immunologic investigations showed a reduction of the T-suppressor-cells and an increase of IgG levels. Defects of phagocytosis or chemotaxis could not be demonstrated.
