Quincke syndrome is an acute reaction of the immune system to various allergens, which manifests itself in the form of swelling, often accompanied by itching of the skin. Exacerbation of symptoms can lead to suffocation and other serious complications. Symptoms of angioedema can occur in any part of the body, but most often affect the face, tongue, lips and throat. This type of reaction occurs in both adults and children. Quincke syndrome is recognized in most countries of the world, so the symptoms and treatment of this disease are well studied.
The reasons for the development of angioedema are currently not entirely clear. It is believed that food products, drugs, bacteria, viruses and other types of allergens are important in the development of the syndrome. This disease is also typical for patients suffering from diseases such as eosinophilic gastroenteritis (gastroenteropathic neurogenic hyperthyroidism), allergy to T-protein (the main protein helminth membranes) or protein infections. It is believed that people suffering from chronic infectious diseases of the oral cavity, such as candidiasis, are prone to developing angioedema. It has been established that children suffer from angioedema more often than adults, and there is an explanation for this: many modern vaccinations have the same effect as angioedema - the immune system
