"In hyper IgE syndrome recurrent chest infections in childhood with Staphylococcus aureus are usually less symptomatic than in immunocompetent children.

Besides, even after adequate treatment of the acute infection, the healing process causes severe parenchymal injury, bronchiectasis, scarring, and large pneumatocele formation."
