Abstract |
Primary immune deficiencies associated with hyper-IgE syndrome are rare diseases with clinical features dominated by recurring cutaneous and visceral bacterial infections, particularly infections due to Staphylococcus species. Most of these infections are associated with milder inflammation compared to normal. We report a primary immune deficiency associated with a hyper-IgE syndrome revealed by a staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome in a 5-year-old girl. The patient presented with a severe staphylococcal infection with extensive skin lesions and disseminated intravascular coagulation. She received intravenous fluids to compensate for fluid losses and anti-staphylococcal antibiotics. Coagulopathy was also corrected. However, the progression was rapidly fatal.
