Abstract:
Isolated angioedema, which is a localized, non-pitting, and transient swelling of the subcutaneous or submucosal tissue not associated with pruritus, urticaria, or anaphylaxis, may be classified, based on genetic pattern and mediators, respectively, as acquired or hereditary and histamine- or non-histamine-induced. The pediatric population with C1-INH-HAE (Hereditary angioedema due to C1-inhibitor deficiency) is mostly symptomatic. The frequency of symptoms in such a population compared to adults seems to be lower, but we need more prospective data to conclude on this point. The HGR (Hereditary angioedema global registry), which collects symptoms in real time, will probably provide such information. In terms of treatments, pediatric patients are significantly disadvantaged due to the few studies aimed at registering treatment for this population.
