Hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome |
|
| Alternative Names: | Job syndrome; Hyper IgE syndrome
|
| Prevention: | There is no proven infection. Good general hygiene is helpful. Some doctors may recommend prophylactic antibiotics in individuals with many infections, particularly with Staphylococcus aureus. This does not change the underlying disorder but rather its consequences.
