Angina bullosa haemorrhagica: lesional immunostaining and haematological findings.
The aetiology of angina bullosa haemorrhagica remains obscure. Fourteen patients with clinical features suggestive of angina bullosa haemorrhagica were investigated. Haemostatic function tests were carried out on an initial 5 patients and immunostain studies on a total of 12 patients. The results indicate that the aetiology of angina bullosa haemorrhagica is associated with neither a haemostatic defect, nor an immunopathogenic basis, and the cause is, as yet, unclear.
