Abstract:

Job's syndrome or hyper-immunoglobulin E syndrome is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by recurrent staphylococcal abscesses and markedly elevated serum immunoglobulin E concentrations. Here we report a case of a woman with hyper-immunoglobulin E syndrome with a diagnosis of peripheral T-cell lymphoma, and we review the pertinent literature.
