Abstract
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a genetically determined disease characterized by recurrent episodes of subcu-taneous or submucosal tissue oedema. Failure to respond to the classical treatment of angioedema with antihista-mines, glucocorticosteroids as well as adrenaline is highly characteristic for HAE. Three main types of HAE have been described: type I – associated with hereditary reduction of C1 esterase inhibitor plasma concentration, type II – associated with its dysfunction and type III with both C1 inhibitor concentration and activity being within the normal range. We present a case report of a 16-year-old female patient with chronic spontaneous angioedema with normal activity and concentration of C1 inhibitor as well as an updated review of the current knowledge concerning pathophysiology, clinical genetic HAE type
期刊介绍：

The main goal of the journal is to ensure rapid publication of important research papers and interesting case studies from the following areas: allergology, diagnostics, therapy of allergic diseases, in particular in the area of immunotherapy, rhinitis, asthma. The Editorial Board accepts for publication original papers, case studies and letters to the Editor. We also publish review articles (both commissioned and those agreed upon with the Editor-in-Chief), articles dealing with standards of medical practice, as well as special issues.
