Ventilatory management of the patient with hyperimmunoglobulinemia E (Job) syndrome.
Hyperimmunoglobulinemia E (Job syndrome) is a primary immunodeficiency that features abscesses of the skin, lung, and viscera; pneumonia; and elevated levels of serum immunoglobulin E. Pulmonary infections lead to lung abscesses, pneumatoceles, and bronchiectasis. We report the ventilatory management of a patient with Job syndrome.
