Bacteriuria increases the risk of edematous attacks in hereditary angioedema with C1‐inhibitor deficiency

Abstract: Urinary tract infections are considered among the most common infectious disorders in humans. Various infections may have a role in inducing HAE attacks. Our study intended to evaluate bacteriuria in the urinalysis of patients with C1-INH-HAE. Urine specimens contributed by 139 patients with C1-INH-HAE at the annual control visits were studied retrospectively for microorganisms. We analyzed the presence of bacteriuria in relation to the clinical symptoms. Taking into account three randomly selected urine speci… Show more

“…There is no data supporting the increase in frequency of acute or chronic infections in HAE patients. Although chronic infections like Helicobacter pylori [74] or bacteriuria [75] were shown to increase HAE attack frequency, a direct comparison of their occurrence between HAE patients and the healthy population was missing from these studies. Only one study from Poland did not demonstrate an increased antibody frequency against H. pylori compared to the healthy population both in children and in adult HAE patients [76].…”

“…Good dental care can reduce extractions, need for aggressive dental procedures, and prevent acute or chronic intraoral inflammation, which might reduce the threshold for attacks. Monitoring for side effects of medications is important and is outlined above We recommend that all patients with HAE should be educated about possible triggers which may induce HAE attacks.Evidence grade: C, strength of recommendation: strong, 100% agreement.…”
