Notes:
Job's syndrome is a rare immune disorder characterized by atopic dermatitis-like skin lesions, elevated serum IgE-levels, repeated occurrence of skin and respiratory tract infections, and skeletal abnormalities. We report on a 12-year-old boy with Job's syndrome from Gujarat State, India. He disclosed the characteristic face, eczematous skin reactions and skin and lung infections. Long-term chemoprophylaxis was realized with oral penicillins that dramatically improved the course of his disease. Other treatment options are discussed but not all meet the needs of developing countries.
