title: [Anesthetic management for a patient with hyper-IgE syndrome].
abstract: Hyper-IgE syndrome is a rare immunodeficiency disorder characterized by recurrent skin and pulmonary infections and extremely elevated serum levels of IgE. A 6-year-old girl with hyper-IgE syndrome underwent appendectomy. Anesthesia was induced with sevoflurane. After insertion of a laryngeal mask, anesthesia was maintained with nitrous oxide, sevoflurane, and oxygen. There were no perioperative complications related to anesthesia and surgery.
