Acquired angioedema - 11/09/11
Abstract |
Acquired angioedema (AAE) is a rare disorder that has been categorized into two forms, AAE-I and AAE-II. AAE-I is associated with other diseases, most commonly B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders. AAE-II is defined by the presence of an autoantibody directed against the C1-inhibitor molecule. Differentiating AAE-I from AAE-II is vital because different therapeutic interventions are required for each type. This review summarizes the clinical aspects, pathophysiology, and management of AAE compared with the types of hereditary angioedema. (J Am Acad Dermatol 1997;36:611-5.)
