To report a case of recurrent Staphylococcus aureus chalazia in a patient with hyperimmunoglobulinemia E syndrome (Job's Syndrome). Case report. Three separate surgical incisions and curettages of multiple, recurrent chalazia of the right upper eyelid were performed over a course of 3 months. Cultures and pathologic specimens were obtained. Postoperative treatment consisted of oral erythromycin and amoxicillin/clavulonate, topical tobramycin/dexamethasone ointment, and warm compresses. Pathology of the tarsus confirmed the diagnosis of multiple chalazia. Cultures of the chalazia contents were positive for Staphylococcus aureus. No further recurrence was observed following the third surgical procedure over a 3-month follow-up period. Characteristic Staphylococcus aureus skin infections in immunodeficient patients with hyperimmunoglobulinemia E syndrome can involve the eyelids and may be recurrent despite appropriate medical and surgical therapy.
