Abstract
Background: Angioedema (AE) due to acquired C1-inhibitor deficiency (AAE-C1-INH) is a rare disease associating recurrent edema of mucosa and skin. Several underlying diseases have been reported, mainly lymphoproliferative diseases and monoclonal gammopathy. However, 15 to 20% of patients never exhibit such a hematological condition.
Objective: To analyze specific features of patients with AAE-C1-INH without hematological condition METHODS: A multicenter retrospective cohort study of patients with AAE-C1-INH without hematological condition included from January 1999 to May 2024 in the French national CREAK registry; the clinical and biological characteristics of patients were detailed, then compared to patients with AAE-C1-INH associated with lymphoid hemopathies or monoclonal gammopathy.
Results: Thirty-four patients were included. All patients displayed a functional C1-INH below 50% of the reference value; 26 (76%) also had a decreased C1-INH antigen level; 26 (76%) displayed anti-C1-INH antibodies. After a median follow-up of 65 months, 4 (12%) patients were in spontaneous complete remission of angioedema; 15 (44%) were in complete response under long-term prophylactic treatment. Comparatively to 75 patients with lymphoma associated-AAE-C1-INH, patients with AAE-C1-INH without hematological condition displayed a higher incidence of anti-C1-INH antibodies and received more frequently symptomatic or prophylactic treatment with a lower remission rate at last follow-up. Clinical and biological features of AAE-C1-INH without hematological condition patients were similar to those of 30 monoclonal gammopathy associated-AAE-C1-INH patients.
Conclusion: AAE-C1-INH without hematological condition display a different clinical and biological presentation from lymphoma associated-AAE-C1-INH. No autoimmune disease was identified. Unlike rituximab, long-term prophylaxis seems to prevent angioedema attacks among these patients.
期刊介绍:
JACI: In Practice is an official publication of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI). It is a companion title to The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, and it aims to provide timely clinical papers, case reports, and management recommendations to clinical allergists and other physicians dealing with allergic and immunologic diseases in their practice. The mission of JACI: In Practice is to offer valid and impactful information that supports evidence-based clinical decisions in the diagnosis and management of asthma, allergies, immunologic conditions, and related diseases.
This journal publishes articles on various conditions treated by allergist-immunologists, including food allergy, respiratory disorders (such as asthma, rhinitis, nasal polyps, sinusitis, cough, ABPA, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis), drug allergy, insect sting allergy, anaphylaxis, dermatologic disorders (such as atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, urticaria, angioedema, and HAE), immunodeficiency, autoinflammatory syndromes, eosinophilic disorders, and mast cell disorders.
The focus of the journal is on providing cutting-edge clinical information that practitioners can use in their everyday practice or to acquire new knowledge and skills for the benefit of their patients. However, mechanistic or translational studies without immediate or near future clinical relevance, as well as animal studies, are not within the scope of the journal.
