摘要
Recurrent episodes of flushing, urticaria, and angioedema raise suspicion for many conditions with a wide differential diagnosis. The diagnostic approach involves consideration of allergic, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, endocrine, infectious, neurologic, dermatologic, and drug-related causes. We describe a unique case of recurrent episodes of flushing, urticaria, and angioedema that has gone into remission after a novel therapeutic intervention.
