Organs it can affect: Depending on the type, it can involve the heart, the nervous system, the kidneys, the digestive system or other tissues, so its manifestations are very varied.
Possible signs: They can include tingling or weakness, alterations in heart rhythm, swelling or digestive changes, which usually evolve progressively.
