CONCLUSIONS The number of Latin American countries with reported cases of Hereditary Angioedema improved but the patients’ identification is still below than expected. Diagnosis of HAE type II is restricted in most of the countries. HAE with normal C1-INH has been detected in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile and Colombia but F12 mutation has been published in Brazil only.
CONCLUSIONS Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Colombia have drugs for attacks launched. Even fresh frozen plasma (FFP) is not available in few countries. Nadroparine has been used in Mexico and Uruguay. Prophylactic therapy is not commercially available in Bolivia, Paraguay and Peru. Educative programs have been running in most of the countries although access to therapy is profoundly restricted.
Improved but not finished
