A case report of probable Covid 19 in a patient with known Hereditary Angioedema

This is a case of stridor exacerbated by Hereditary Angioedema in a 77-year-old patient who had stable, well controlled disease prior to this presentation. His clinical features were highly suggestive of Covid 19 as his symptoms manifested during the Covid 19 pandemic. The author postulated a link between the proinflammatory state of Covid 19 and the inflammatory state of Hereditary Angioedema. His first nasopharyngeal swab was negative but the post mortem swab and his clinical history was strongly suggestive of Covid 19.
