Fig 1 Follow-up of the complement parameters over years. Although the levels of the complement components did not return to normal after splenectomy, the patient is symptom-free. The transient elevation of functional and antigenic C1-INH levels might have been related to an upper respiratory tract infection accompanied by fever, for which the patient received an antibiotic (amoxicillin). The dates of the interventions are indicated by arrows.
