koebner phenomenon
angioedema aka
Quincke’s dz
mechanisms of angioedema (5)
1- mast cell degranulation (histamine and IgE mediated/allergic)
2 - ACEi and ARB
3 - complement pathway, deficiency of C1-INH activity
4 = high Ab-Ag complexes (lupus, viral/bacterial infx)
5 - elevated peripheral blood eosinophils
deficient C1-INH activity
angioedema
hereditary - type I (less C1-INH) and type II (normal levels but dysfunctional C1-INH)
acquired - lymphoprilferative dz (autoAB consumes C1-INH) or autoimmune (autoABbinds to and reduces C1-INH fx)
tx for angioedema
allergic - histamine
ACE and hereditary/acquired - C1-INH concentrate
autoimmune - steroids
