Summary The hyper IgE syndrome is a specific primary immunodeficiency disease of highly variable severity. Though the disorder is rare, patients are quite likely to present at some time to the dermatologist. Although the cutaneous manifestations of the hyper IgE syndrome are characteristic, they are non‐specific and their significance may not be appreciated if a history of other infections, particularly of the respiratory tract, is not obtained. We describe here a typical case which presented in a paediatric dermatology clinic.
