The Romanian Hereditary Angioedema Network (RHAEN) is a nongovernmental organization. Its scopes include: coordination of the initiatives for fighting against the isolation of the HAE patients, acquisition and spreading of scientific knowledge, providing the patients with specific medications, development of quality complement laboratories, facilitation of international cooperation etc. The Romanian HAE Network's organization started in 2005 and was officially registered in 2006.
During the first four years of activity we made some progress in increasing the awareness of colleagues of different specialties: allergologists, specialists in internal medicine, pediatricians, and dermatologists. RHAEN has organized lessons, courses, seminars and workshops in different occasions, mainly at national level meetings of the professional societies.
The 2nd Congress of the Romanian Allergology and Clinical Imunology Society will be held between 6-8th May 2011, in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. The Congress is organized under the patronage of the Romanian Allergology and Clinical Imunology Society.
Colleagues, students, and representatives of pharmaceutical companies involved in the therapy or research of C1-inhibitor deficiency and hereditary angioedema are expected to attend from all over the world. Patients with hereditary angioedema, who wish to know or present novelties and new results in this area are also welcome. Similar to the previous six meetings held in Hungary, the aim of this conference is to enhance clinical research and pharmaceutical development by relying on the latest results, and to help the global introduction of standardized diagnostic and therapeutic methods.
