Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Husband was diagnosed with Angioedema, antihistamines don t work but prednisone does. He had food, mountain and desert panels done and they came back negative. Has appt in 2 weeks with allergist, what could it be? Would mold in our attic cause this type of reaction?
The angioedema is dependent upon the complement level deficiency in the case where anti histamine is not working. Hence, there will be no issues with mold , but flare up of the previous issue can be there if it proves as precipitation factor, not for new episode.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
