Recurrent febrile panniculitis and hepatitis in two patients with acquired complement deficiency and paraproteinemia
1987
Abstract Repeated episodes of febrile panniculitis and hepatitis were the main clinical features in two patients with an IgG1 kappa paraproteinemia and severe depletion of the early components of the classical pathway of complement (acquired C1 inhibitor deficiency). They did not have episodes of cutaneous angioedema or evidence of immune complex disease. In the more severely affected patient, the episodes responded to steroids. These features have not been described with acquired C1 inhibitor deficiency and may be related to complement activation.
