Is It Hyper IgE Syndrome Or Something Else?

Michelle Yasharpour

Abstract: Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com MOJ Immunologytesting was significantly positive for Bermuda grass, cat dander, dog dander, house dust, egg white, and egg yolk. Stool ova and parasites were negative in addition to specific IgE to anisakis and IgG to strongyloides. Levels of IgA were 284 mg/dl, IgG 1720mg/ dl, IgM 63 mg/dl.B cell subsets were also evaluated. Marginal zone B and class switch memory B cells are low. Transitional B cells and CD21 low are high. The other subsets were within the normal… Show more

“…The differential diagnosis of such severe IgE levels include atopic dermatitis, inflammatory diseases such as Kimura disease and Churg Strauss syndrome, Specific syndromes such as Olmsted syndrome (periorificial hyperkeratotic lesions and mutilating palmoplantar keratoderma) and also other primary immunodeficiency diseases such as Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (eczema, recurrent infections, thrombocytopenia with small platelets), Netherton syndrome (skin rash, entropathy, failure to thrive, bamboo hair), Omenn syndrome (exudative erythroderma with desquamation, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, intractable diarrhea and failure to thrive) and Nezeloff Syndrome (dermatitis, pondostatural retardation, candidiasis, diarrhea). 13 Co-existance of Hyper IgE syndrome has also been reported with Dubowitz syndrome, pentasomy X syndrome and Saethre-Chotzen syndrome. [14][15][16] Till curative or any other specific therapy becomes available for HIES, the consensus is to give life-long prophylactic therapy with anti-staphylococcal antibiotic such as Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole.…”

“…9 Não existe tratamento dirigido, sendo a abordagem dirigida à prevenção e tratamento de infeções. [4][5][6][7][8][9] Apesar do quadro da doente não se enquadrar nas manifestações graves associadas à última síndroma, compreende, de forma geral, sinais e sintomas mais ligeiros associados a uma elevação marcada dos níveis de IgE, pontuando 16 pontos no score clinicolaboratorial pelo nível de IgE e presença de bronquiectasias, não tendo sido atribuída pontuação pela presença de escoliose e infeções por falta de registo/informação médica. Dada a pouca rentabilidade do estudo genético, optou-se por não progredir para o estudo de mutações menos frequentes, optando-se pelo seguimento da doente, nomeadamente no que diz respeito ao tratamento e prevenção de complicações infeciosas e despiste de neoplasias.…”

“…3 Comparativamente ao descrito na literatura associado à tuberculose, a doente apresentava IgE elevada numa magnitude muito superior (>5000 IU/L), que não se modificou após tratamento com isoniazida, o que, aliado ao aspecto das lesões oculares, obrigou à consideração de outros diagnósticos, após exclusão de doença parasitária. 4 Pelos sinais, sintomas associados e ausência de eosinofilia associada, tornou-se pouco provável diagnóstico de doença de Kimura, síndroma de Churg-Strauss e dermatite atópica (e outras formas de atopia). Dentro das causas de imunodeficiência primária associadas a elevação de Ig E inclui-se o Síndroma de Wiskott-Aldrich, associado ao cromossoma X; Síndroma de Netherton, doença autossómica recessiva caracterizada por "cabelos em bambu", ictiose, atopia, eosinofilia e infeções recorrentes; Síndroma de Ommen, distinguido por eritrodermia exsudativa com descamação generalizada, hepatoesplenomegalia, infeções bacterianas de repetição e diarreia refratária; Síndrome de Nezel (forma menos severa que o Síndroma de Ommen) e Síndroma de Hiper-IgE.…”
