Landmark publication from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences: Hereditary angio-neurotic oedema. 1888.

摘要

UNDER the terms acute local, acute circumscribed or angio-neurotic oedema, a disease has been described, characterized by the sudden onset in various regions of oedematous swellings, more or less limited in extent, and of transient duration. Although not referred to at any length in text-books or cyclopedias, the affection is evidently not very uncommon, as Dinkelaker, a pupil of Quincke, has collected a number of cases from the literature. Quincke has himself referred to the subject in Monatshefte fur practische Dermatologie, 1882. Jamieson, of Edinburgh, has written on the subject and Graham has given a good account of the disease. Riehl, Falcone, Strutting, Matas, have recently reported cases.
