Hereditary angioedema
(
HAE

gastroenteritis
like vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain. Here, we present a unique case of a less recognised type of
HAE
that is type III in a patient who presented with signs and symptoms consistent with infectious colitis. She previously had similar episodes and was managed multiple times with antibiotics, with no satisfactory response. There, she underwent extensive diagnostic evaluation. On the basis of findings of further investigations on the current visit, she was eventually diagnosed with intestinal angioedema. To the best of our knowledge, the present paper represents the third reported case of type III

HAE
