The clinical features, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and management of angioedema will be reviewed here. When acute anaphylaxis is suspected, immediate medical attention should be seeked. Patients who have been prescribed self-injected adrenaline (epinephrine) should use it if they have developed symptoms suggestive of anaphylaxis (always according to their personalized management action plan). Long term management is crucial in these patients. Dr. Gerald Lee is an Assistant Professor on faculty at the University of Louisville.
