Angioedema is a local, non-inflammatory, self-limiting oedema that is circumscribed, and is caused by increased vascular permeability and leakage of plasma into the deeper skin layers. Angioedema can occur with or without urticaria. It can be acute or chronic (more than six weeks in duration) as well as being allergic, hereditary or idiopathic in nature. The reaction is self-limited, usually lasting few days, but may occur repetitively with each exposure to the allergen which may cause a fatal reaction at some point. This is the main reason behind the removal of the valuable drug (rivaroxaban) like in our patient because the result of angioedema occurred 2 months after administration of the rivaroxaban.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
