Chandigarh, May 17

The Department of Paediatrics and the Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology, PGI, Chandigarh, jointly celebrated International Hereditary Angioedema Day on May 16 by holding a virtual conference by the Hereditary Angioedema Society of India (HAESI) at the PGI.

Angioedema is the rapid edema or swelling of the area beneath the skin or mucosa. It is normally an allergic reaction when accompanied by hives, but it can also be hereditary (non-itchy).

Hereditary Angioedema is a rare disorder that affects approximately 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 50,000 people.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
