RESUMEN

This new section of the journal features case studies with an immunological interest, accompanied by a brief discussion on pathophysiology, treatment and prognosis. Here, we discuss a teenage girl with a long history of complicated respiratory infections and recalcitrant eczematous rash, who was sent to our hospital and diagnosed with the Hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome.
