Riya Kaur Kalra, Sandeep Aggarwal, Shallu Aggarwal

Abstract :

Job‘s syndrome is a rare disease characterized by recurrent skin and/or lung abscesses, dermatitis, and bone and tooth defects, in addition to significantly increased serum IgE levels. A six years old female presented to us with recurrent “cold” abscesses on her face with a history of recurrent onchitis, eczema on buttocks, antecubital fossa and back and oral thrush. She had coarse facial features, a prominent forehead, deep–set eyes, a oad nasal idge, and a wide, fleshy nasal tip. With prominent eosinophilia and significantly increased serum IgE levels, a diagnosis of Job’s Syndrome was suspected. The patient was managed with incision and drainage of abscesses, appropriate antibiotics, good skin care and regular follow–up visits. The objective of this report is to create awareness about this disease and its management as its diagnosis is very difficult, so a high degree of clinical suspicion is needed
