My serum IgE level is 4653 IU/mL. I have a history of allergies, asthma, and psoriasis since childhood, and I also get frequent fungal infections. What tests can be done, or how can we diagnose whether I have Autosomal Recessive Hyper IgE Syndrome (AR HIES)?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A very high IgE level (4653 IU/ml), along with childhood asthma, psoriasis, and fungal infections, raises the possibility of Autosomal Recessive Hyper IgE Syndrome (AR HIES). This is a rare immune disorder and is diagnosed using genetic testing (like DOCK8 gene mutation) and immune profiling. Please consult a clinical immunologist to get evaluated fully and begin the right treatment plan.
Dr. Shaik Suggests...
Take a LYMPHOCYTE SUBSET ANALYSIS (LSSA) WITH NK CELLS Test or Take a Immunoglobulin Panel [IgG, IgM & IgA] - Serum Test

View allI consulted a doctor at KIMS, and they said I have an allergy, so I have been taking allergy medicine. However, I am experiencing chest mucus and frequently vomiting mucus after eating. My test report shows immunoglobulin E over 1000. Could this be the reason for my phlegm problem?

Dear Doctor, I have severe sneezing and wheezing and my eyes and ears are also itching and having irritation. Sneezing for more than 100 times in a day, minimum 10 to 20 each time I sneeze, is making my life miserable. I am also struggling with sleepless nights, which is increasing my symptoms even higher. How can I tackle this issue? I found my eosinophils count is a little higher than expected. I am yet to receive the complete blood report. But this problem has been consistent for more than 3 years. Please suggest a way to get out of this miserable living. When I sneeze, urine leaks. In the morning, as soon as I wake up, I sneeze like hell and my stools also leak due to severe and unstoppable sneezing. I hope you are able to see the life I am living. I do not know which treatment or which specialist is suitable to treat my problem. Please help and direct me to the correct treatment. Thank you, Durgalakshmi.

I have noticed dark, blackish pigmentation on my chest, arms, back, and lower portion of the neck, along with some itching. I have been receiving treatment at Batras Clinic for the past 15 months, but I am not seeing fast results. My recent blood report shows that IgE is around 516. Please suggest what I can do to effectively treat this skin problem.
