Dear Editor, Hyper-immunoglobulin E syndrome (HIES) is a primary immunodeficiency disease, which was first described as Job's syndrome in 19661 and characterized by elevated serum IgE levels in 1972. 2 So called ‘cold abscess’ is a characteristic symptom of HIES though a process of cold abscess formation is not well documented. We have experienced a HIES case, in which chronological changes of skin eruptions were closely monitored from his birth. The boy was born by natural delivery with 3400 g of birth weight at 37 weeks of gestation. Pustules were already present all over his body at birth. Considering Group B Streptococcus-positive in the maternal birth canal, penicillin was given, and pustules improved in a week. A month after the birth, disseminated pustules recurred on the face (Figure 1a). He then had a fever over 38 C, and skin lesions became erythrodermic eczematous lesions (Figure 1b). The eczematous lesions turned to crusts in a week (Figure 1c), and then spontaneously improved in 2 weeks (Figure 1d). He repeated the cycle of pustule formation, eczematous eruption, and spontaneous healing of skin lesions every 2–3 weeks. A skin biopsy from a pustular lesion on day 97 revealed acantholysis in the epidermis and infiltration of eosinophils and neutrophils (Figure 1e). He developed a large cold abscess in the occipital region on day 153 (Figure 1f). Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus were detected in the abscess. Total IgE values were 378 IU/mL on D97 and more than 30,000 IU/mL on D519 and later. IgE for S. aureus enterotoxin A and B were 53.7 and 1.53 IU/mL on D148, respectively. IgE for candida was 8.21 Lumicount by MAST33 on D519. He was diagnosed as a hyper-immunoglobulin E syndrome with a heterozygous mutation of STAT3 c. 1909G> A (dbSNP rs113994139, p. Val637Met in Sh2 domain) at 6 months of age. There was no similar symptom in his parents and family.The skin lesions of the patient always started with sudden onsets of disseminated small pustules preceding general symptoms. The pustular lesions then turned to erosive eczematous eruptions as atopic dermatitis, formed crusts, and healed. The area of the skin lesions was enlarged from the face to the trunk. The eruptions recurred every 2 to 3 weeks (The chronological skin lesion images from day 0 at his birth to day 153 are shown in the supplementary information). He had already developed IgE against S. aureus when he developed the cold abscess at 5 months of age, suggesting that his susceptibility to the repeated Staphylococci exposure increased a chance to form the cold abscess. Since HIES has features of
