Consensus on diagnosis and management of Hereditary Angioedema in the Middle East: A Delphi initiative.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hereditary angioedema (HAE), a potentially life-threatening genetic disorder due to C1 inhibitor deficiency in most cases, is characterized by sudden and/or recurrent attacks of angioedema (subcutaneous/submucosal swellings). The global World Allergy Organization (WAO)/European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) International guideline for HAE management is comprehensive, but the implementation of this guideline may require regional adaptation considering the diversity in disease awareness, type of medical care systems, and access to diagnostics and treatment. The aim of this Delphi initiative was to build on the global guideline and provide regional adaptation to address the concerns and specific needs in the Middle East.
