  • Title: [Hereditary angioedema. A hereditary disorder in the synthesis of the complement system].
    Author: Vanderstock L, Vander Eecken P, Vermeersch H.
    Journal: Acta Otorhinolaryngol Belg; 1983; 36(3):418-31. PubMed ID: 6613563.
    Abstract:
    Hereditary angioedema is characterized by recurrent attacks of painless, non itching edema of the face and limbs and sometimes by abdominal symptoms. It is due to a deficiency of functional inhibitor of the first component of complement (C1 Inh). We present a case where a normal antigenic level of C1 Inh was found but no functional activity was present (B variant). A short review is given of the pathogenesis, heredity, diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
