We report on 2 patients with congenital insensitivity to pain and anhydrosis. The first one was a 7-month-old boy who presented with non-traumatic, haematogenous septic dislocation of the right elbow with physeal separation of the distal humerus. The second one was a 3-year-old girl suspected to have Job syndrome with an altered immunological profile.
