Clin Exp Allergy. 2021 Jul;51(7):947-950. doi: 10.1111/cea.13870. Epub 2021 Apr 4.

Abstract

Acute attacks could occur during the convalescent phase of COVID-19 illness, more commonly in patients with a history of frequent attacks. However it is unclear whether the acute attacks during the convalescent phase are specifically triggered by COVID-19 or not.

Keywords: COVID-19; HAE; angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor; hereditary angioedema.
