Skin Manifestations in Patients with Selective Immunoglobulin E Deficiency

Abstract: Selective immunoglobulin E deficiency (SIgED) is still an unrecognised primary immunodeficiency despite several observations supporting its existence. This study aimed to describe the skin manifestations associated with SIgED. We retrospectively assessed medical records of patients with SIgED, the diagnosis being based on serum IgE levels ≤2 Uk/L associated with normal serum levels of immunoglobulins G, M, and A. A total of 25 patients (24 female) with SIgED were included in the study. Eleven patients (44%) pr… Show more

“…He had an erythematous plaque that progressed into an ulcer on the lower leg and was diagnosed as bullous PG. Despite treatment with prednisone, cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil, the ulcer did not heal 78 . The pathogenesis and association between selective IgE deficiency and PG may stem from IgE's mucosal predominance and its similarity to the proposed protective role IgA plays in preventing systemic absorption of mucosal antigens, thereby preventing autoimmune activity 71 …”
