Abstract:
Angioedema without Urticaria: Medical History and Findings Abstract. Abstracts: We present the case of a woman with repeated attacks of angioedema without wheals. Given that there was no benefit from systemic steroid and antihistamines therapy, we interpretated the clinical picture as bradykinin- (and not histamine-) induced. Owing to the late onset and a negative family history, we suspected a case of angioedema due to acquired C1-INH deficiency. This hypothesis was later confirmed by specific hematological tests. We therefore started a specific prophylaxis and therapy in case of acute attacks.
