Article Synopsis
- Angioedema with eosinophilia is categorized into two types: episodic, known as Gleich's syndrome, and non-episodic, which was the focus of a case study involving a young lactating woman.
- The patient's examination revealed significant non-pitting edema in her lower extremities, but no other symptoms or complications were present, leading to a diagnosis of non-episodic angioedema.
- The study also investigated the relationship between specific cytokines and chemokines related to edema in the patient, discovering a strong correlation among several inflammatory markers, marking this as a pioneering research effort in understanding this condition.
