The hyper immuno-globuline E (IgE) syndrome with recurrent infections or Job syndrome is a rare immunodeficiency characterized by recurrent skin and pulmonary abscesses and extremely elevated levels of IgE in serum with eczematous dermatitis. Associated facial and skeletal features have been recognized but their frequency is unknown. The genetic basis of this syndrome is poorly understood.
