Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is an autosomal dominant, quantitative or functional defect of the C1 esterase inhibitor. The main role of the C1 esterase inhibitor is to regulate the activation of the complement system, the contact phase of the intrinsic coagulation system. On the other hand, factor V Leiden is the most common cause of primary and recurrent venous thromboembolism and displays a strong interaction with oral contraceptives. Here we report the case of a patient with HAE associated with the factor V Leiden mutation who had purpura fulminans when put on an oral contraceptive therapy.
