Angioedema beyond histamine: an educational case series

Acta Clinica Belgica
K J De KnopD G Ebo

Abstract

Angioedema constitutes an important clinical problem that can cause significant morbidity and mortality. Correct management requires a prompt recognition and treatment of the acute event and identification of the underlying cause. Many cases are caused by non-allergic reactions and do not result from mediator release by degranulating mast cells and basophils, but are related to accumulation of plasma and tissue bradykinin. This case series aims primarily to describe some important causes of non-allergic bradykinin-induced angioedema. Particular emphasis is put on clinical particularities, differential diagnosis, diagnostic approach and correct therapeutic management, as bradykinin-mediated angioedema is unresponsive to antihistamines.

Basophils

Basophils are myeloid cells with a high affinity IgE receptor and is involved in inflammatory responses during allergy. Discover the latest research on Basophils here.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Antihypertensive Agents: Mechanisms of Action

Antihypertensive drugs are used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) which aims to prevent the complications of high blood pressure, such as stroke and myocardial infarction. Discover the latest research on antihypertensive drugs and their mechanism of action here.
