Urticaria and Angioedema

Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 2023
Urticaria and angioedema are caused by immunoglobulin E- and non-immunoglobulin E-mediated release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators from mast cells and basophils. Diagnosis is made clinically, and anaphylaxis must be ruled out if urticaria or angioedema is present.

Angioedema

Dermatologic Clinics, 1985
Angioedema is characterized by a well-demarcated swelling on the skin, oropharyngolaryngeal tissue, or the gastrointestinal wall. Underlying mechanisms may include IgE-mediated reactions, complement activation, inhibition of the cyclo-oxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism, direct release of mediators from mast cells, and activation of the ...

Recurrent angioedema in childhood: hereditary angioedema or histaminergic angioedema?

Pediatric Dermatology, 2020
AbstractBackgroundRecurrent angioedema is a rare entity during childhood.

Angioedema

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2005
Although first described more than 130 years ago, the pathophysiology, origin, and management of the several types of angioedema are poorly understood by most dermatologists. Although clinically similar, angioedema can be caused by either mast cell degranulation or activation of kinin formation.

Angioedema

Pediatric Annals, 2019
Angioedema is a localized swelling of the skin and submucosal tissues and is generally benign and self-limiting. However, it can be life threatening if angioedema involves the upper airway, resulting in airway obstruction. Airway protection would be critical and lifesaving in patients with angioedema irrespective of the underlying etiology.

Diagnosing Angioedema

Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North America, 2013
Angioedema usually occurs within the setting of allergic diseases or urticaria, but situations occur in which angioedema itself represents a disease, such as in hereditary angioedema. Evaluation of patients for recurrent angioedema without wheals must take into account both specific clinical signs and symptoms and specialized laboratory testing.

Angioedema

Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North America, 2014
Urticarial wheals and angioedema are 2 different clinical symptoms. Both belong to various disease entities, and may occur in combination or be isolated. Increased vasodilation and vasopermeability is a common feature. Histamine and bradykinin are well-known mediators.
