Angioedema (AE) of the upper airways is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition. The incidence has been increasing in the past two decades, primarily due to increased use of medications inhibiting the degradation of vasoactive peptides. Acquired angioedema related to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI-AAE) is well known, but other pharmaceutical agents also affect the degradation of bradykinin and substance P. We present a middle-aged man with recurrent episodes of severe AE of the oral cavity, hypopharynx and larynx due to pharmacological inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase IV.
上气道血管性水肿(AE)是一种严重且可能危及生命的疾病。在过去二十年中,其发病率一直在上升,主要原因是抑制血管活性肽降解的药物使用增加。与血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂相关的获得性血管性水肿(ACEI - AAE)已广为人知,但其他药物也会影响缓激肽和P物质的降解。我们报告了一名中年男性,由于二肽基肽酶IV受到药物抑制,出现口腔、下咽和喉部反复严重发作的AE。
