title: [Behavior of esterase inhibitor C1 in patients with urticaria due to aspirin hypersensitivity].
abstract: The aim of the study was to evaluate concentration and activity of C1 esterase inhibitor (C1 INH) in patients with aspirin-sensitive urticaria. Deficiency of C1 INH is the basis for hereditary angioneurotic oedema. The study was performed in 32 subjects with aspirin-sensitive urticaria. The value of C1 INH in examined patients was the same as in control group. It seems there is no coexistence of aspirin-sensitive urticaria and C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency.
