Abstract
IntroductionWe report an interesting clinical case which could represent a new syndrome never described previously in the literature.Case presentationA 15-year-old Caucasian boy presented to our institution with recurrent respiratory infections, severe atopic dermatitis, short stature and skeletal malformations. Laboratory tests showed a high level of immunoglobulin E, hypereosinophilia with a normal white blood cell count and a low level of somatomedin C. The patient had had atopic dermatitis resistant to treatment since the age of 6 months. His height did not increase despite receiving cyclic therapy with recombinant growth hormone.ConclusionWe hypothesized the presence of several diseases not confirmed by any genetic tests. Our patient could have an unknown disease. Further research is needed to identify this possible new syndrome.
