Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Genetics
  • Hematology

Context:

  • Hereditary angio-oedema (AOH) is a rare genetic disorder.
  • It is often hereditary but can be acquired.
  • A deficiency in C1 esterase inhibitor is a key characteristic.

Purpose:

  • To examine cases of Hereditary angio-oedema (AOH).
  • To confirm diagnostic markers.
  • To evaluate treatment outcomes.

Summary:

  • Eight cases of AOH were analyzed.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed by C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency and reduced complement levels (C3-C4, total hemolytic complement).
  • Treatments included high-dose corticosteroids for acute attacks and Danazol for basic management.

Impact:

  • Highlights diagnostic criteria for AOH.
  • Demonstrates the use of corticosteroids and Danazol in managing AOH.
  • Contributes to understanding the clinical presentation and management of this rare condition.
