Ophthalmic Complications of Jobs Syndrome: Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences University - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Job's syndrome or Hyperimmunoglobulinemia E is characterized by increased levels of IgE, recurrent cutaneous and systemic pyogenic infections, atopic dermatitis, and peripheral eosinophilia. Ocular associations which have been reported in the literature include keratoconus, chalazia with blepharitis, candida endophthalmitis and retinal detachment. We present the case report of a young patient with bilateral eczematous lid involvement with molluscum contagiosum infection and bilateral corneal vascularisation. Patient also had cutaneous, pulmonary involvement and showed general improvement with systemic antibiotics and immunoglobulin therapy. Diagnosis was based on clinical findings and raised serum IgE levels and eosinophilia. Even though rare, Job's syndrome can present with ophthalmic features.
