Abstract
|
|
|
|
Angioedema with eosinophilia is classified as the episodic and transient types according to the clinical course, the presence of recurrence and the response to treatment. Episodic angioedema with eosinophilia is characterized by recurrent angioedema, urticaria, periodical weight gain, peripheral eosinophilia and fever. The pathophysiologic mechanism is unknown, but it has been suggested that T-lymphocytes, eosinophils and cytokines may be the causes of this disorder. We report here on a 35-year-old woman with episodic angioedema and weight gain that she experienced about 3 days before the onset of menstruation.
