Autosomal Recessive Hyper-IgE Syndrome in a Child With Beta Thalassemia Trait: A Case Report

Autoimmune diseases are multifaceted disorders, and their coexistence with other conditions can present unique challenges in diagnosis and management. Here, we report a rare case of autosomal recessive hyper-IgE syndrome (AR-HIES) in a child with beta thalassemia trait. AR-HIES is a distinct immunodeficiency disorder characterized by severe eczema and recurrent bacterial and viral infections, particularly affecting the sinopulmonary system. This case highlights the importance of recognizing and managing the co-occurrence of rare genetic conditions, as it can impact treatment strategies and familial counseling. This unique case of AR-HIES in a child with beta thalassemia trait underscores the complexity of autoimmune disorders and the need for comprehensive evaluation in patients presenting with multiple clinical manifestations.
