SUMMARY A previously undescribed short‐lived non‐pruritic reticulate erythema has been noted in several members of unrelated families with hereditary angio‐oedema. The eruption which may be widespread can last from 1 to 4 days and usually immediately precedes an overt attack of hereditary angio‐oedema although this is not invariable, and swellings may occur in areas not previously involved by the erythema. Histology including immunohistology probably shows no specific changes.
