Απόσπασμα από την εισαγωγή :

«In light of the remarkable progress recently achieved in our understanding of angioedema, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, European Association of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, and World Allergy Organization have joined together to promote communication about diagnosis and management of angioedema on a global scale. Within the framework of this collaboration, termed the International Collaboration in Asthma, Allergy, and Immunology (iCAALL), a series of International Consensus (ICON) documents are being developed to serve as a resource and to support physicians and other health care professionals in caring for patients with allergic and immunologic disorders.

This document was developed by an international workgroup, formed to develop an ICON document in which the pathogenesis, prevalence, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management of angioedema are described.»
