I. Grzelewskarzymowska et al., THE VALUE OF C1 ESTERASE INHIBITOR IN PATIENTS WITH ASPIRIN-SENSITIVEURTICARIA, Journal of investigational allergology & clinical immunology, 5(5), 1995, pp. 272-275
The aim of the study was to evaluate the concentration and activity of
GI esterase inhibitor (CI INH) in patients with aspirin-sensitive urt
icaria. CI INH deficiency is the basis of hereditary angioneurotic ede
ma. The study was performed on 32 subjects with aspirin-sensitive urti
caria. The value of CI INH in examined patients was the same as in the
control group. There seems to be no coexistance of aspirin-sensitive
urticaria and CI esterase inhibitor deficiency.
