    Journal: Ann Dermatol Venereol; 1982; 109(12):1049-56. PubMed ID: 7171202.
    Abstract:
    One case of acquired angio-neurotic oedema is described and discussed with the other cases recorded in literature since Caldwell's one in 1972. This entity is characterized by: --the late onset of angio-oedema but its presence only in about half cases, --a complement deficiency resulting from the lack of C1-esterase inhibitor, --the absence of familial identical cases, --the great frequency of associated illnesses overall lympho-proliferative diseases, --the therapeutic response to either etiologic treatment of the associated disease or to the symptomatic effect of drugs used in hereditary angio-neurotic oedema.
