Will Increased IgE Level Cause Repeated Cold In A 10 Year Old Girl?
Help me diagnose this case:
A 10-year-old female experienced one cold after another in the springtime. She had missed several days of school, and her mother was greatly concerned. The mother took her daughter to the pediatrician, worried that she might be immunocompromised because she couldn’t seem to fight off infections. A blood sample was obtained and sent to a reference laboratory for a determination of antibody levels, including an IgE level. The patient’s IgM, IgG, and IgA levels were all normal for her age, but the IgE level was greatly increased.

Thanks for consulting in HealthcareMagic. Your daughter has hyper-IgE-syndrome,which manifests with atopical dermatitis, eczema, bronchial asthma, some kind -Dgob's syndrome with 2000-50000 in 1 ml of serum, high eosinophils-50% in blood. I need more details, how much increased, number? You should find cause why Ig E increased/ hereditary, allergical reactions, disbacteriosis, worms in interstine, food, medication allergy and other/. Try to absorb allergens from GIT- give absorbents-charcoal 1 tab 2 times 5 days or other sorbents; antihistamine- desloratadine or cetirizine 1/2 tab 1 time 14 days, then ketotifen 1 tab 2 times 3 month. Follw hypoallergenic diet
