Abstract
An 11‐year‐old girl was referred with cervical bacterial lymphadenitis thought to be secondary to a progressive acneiform facial rash. Her history was significant for recurrence of bacterial lymphadenitis associated with [...]
: Hyper‐IgE (HIES) is a rare, primary immunodeficiency characterised by eczema, recurrent staphylococcal infections, pneumonia, increased serum IgE and eosinophilia. We present the case of an 11‐year‐old girl presenting to dermatology with an acneiform facial rash and associated bacterial lymphadenitis. History was significant for otitis media, primary tooth retention, low impact wrist fracture, infantile acne and an absence of eczema or pneumonia. Investigations demonstrated mildly elevated IgE, normal eosinophils but positivity for a STAT3 gene mutation—thus representing a case of HIES presenting as an acneiform facial rash with absence of other primary immunological features.
