Hyper–immunoglobulin E-like syndrome in a patient with multiple genetic mutations

A 44-year-old African-American woman with hidradenitis suppurativa, scoliosis, and idiopathic avascular necrosis of the hips presented to the emergency department with transient monocular visual loss, purulent discharge at the site of a gold-plate implant in the left upper eyelid for lagophthalmos secondary to Bell palsy, and a right thigh abscess. Since her diagnosis of hidradenitis suppurativa at 16 years old, she developed multiple abscesses in the axilla, groin, thighs, and nape of the neck requiring incision and drainages, skin grafting, and antibiotics.
