Hereditary angioedema (HAE), an auto-somal dominant disorder characterized by attacks of episodic edema is associated with decreased functional levels of the C1 esterase inhibitor. Approximately 85% of patients have lowered antigen levels of a normal inhibitor protein. 15% of patients have normal or
We report the case of a 54-year-old woman with no history of atopic diseases or drug allergies who developed a generalized anaphylactic reaction with urticaria and angioedema a few hours after tooth extraction. The skin scratch and RAST tests demonstrated IgE-mediated hypersensitivity to the product
A 33-year-old woman without history of previous atopic diseases or drug allergies developed a severe anaphylactic reaction with asthma, vomiting, itching, generalized urticaria, and angioedema during artificial insemination with her husband's sperm. The sperm-processing medium contained bovine serum
A patient with severe acquired angioneurotic edema had essentially no C1- inhibitor activity in his serum and nearly died of cardiopulmonary arrest during an acute episode of facial, oral, and pharyngeal edema. This patient had an antibody directed against C1- inhibitor and C1- inhibitor-anti-C1-
A 27-year-old woman with severe recurrent angioedema and urticaria since 5 years was found to have high levels of circulating immune complexes in the peripheral blood. These immune complexes contained antibodies against bovine serum albumin. Elimination of bovine products from the diet resulted in
C1-inhibitor is an acid glycoprotein, isoelectric point 3.5-3.6. Plasma of some patients with a variant form of hereditary angioedema contains high levels of functionless C1-inhibitor-albumin complex with an isoelectric point at 4.5-4.6. Therapy with Danazol, which increases C1-inhibitor levels,
Objective: To describe 2 dogs with acute kidney injury secondary to type III hypersensitivity reaction to 25% human serum albumin (HSA).
Case series summary: Two dogs were
OBJECTIVE
To describe the administration of 5% human serum albumin (HSA) in 588 critically ill hypoalbuminemic dogs and cats, and report outcome to discharge, changes in albumin concentration, and adverse effects during hospitalization.
METHODS
Retrospective clinical study.
METHODS
Private emergency
We present a case of a patient who developed two episodes of angioedema after taking acetylsalicylic acid orally. Specific IgE antibodies to acetylsalicylic human serum albumin (ASA-HSA) were found. A control group of 37 patients with aspirin intolerance was studied and evidence of specific IgE
BACKGROUND
Activation of bradykinin-mediated B2 receptor has been shown to play an important role in the onset of angioedema associated with C1 inhibitor deficiency. This finding has led to the development of novel therapeutic drugs such as the B2 receptor antagonist icatibant. However, it is
BACKGROUND
No effective treatment exists in the United States for acute attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE).
METHODS
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of C1 inhibitor concentrate in treating HAE, a large primary care and referral center hospital conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled,
Kinetic analysis of the initial ingestion rate of albumin-coated paraffin oil particles by human granulocytes and rabbit alveolar macrophages was undertaken to study the mechanism of action of cations and of heat-labile opsonin on engulfment. The rate of uptake of the particles was stimulated by
