Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is an autosomal dominant disorder resulting from a deficiency in functional C1 inhibitor. Manifestations include recurrent episodes of nonpitting subcutaneous and submucosal edema involving the skin, airway, and visceral organs. Skin swelling may be the first manifestation of HAE so it is important for dermatologists to understand the cause of and treatments for this condition.
To address the need for current education on HAE, Robert Michael Educational Institute LLC (RMEI) and Postgraduate Institute for Medicine (PIM) are jointly sponsoring this complimentary continuing medical education monograph. This activity is supported by an educational grant from ViroPharma Incorporated.
