Why was the boy's photo with Anaphylaxis removed?
editI wanna know the reason for how the photo of that boy for the first thing you see in the article got removed, because I noticed it existed last time it was archived on https://archive.ph/d8Jru archived at 11 Jan 2024 23:38:56 UTC. Luigi Cotocea (talk) 10:08, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- The image was File:Angioedema2010.JPG. It was removed in this edit on 11 May 2024 by an IP address which has made no other edit. The reason given was "
Removal of angioedema which is not anaphylaxis. Angioedema is treated differently, has different pathophysiology and if linked with anaphylas could cause deaths. Get a picture of anaphylaxis rather than angioedema which is bradykinin induced when anaphylaxis is mast cell histamine induced.
" That edit also removed angioedema from the infobox. The photo is present in that article. I don't know anything about the merits of the edit. Johnuniq (talk) 10:53, 27 May 2024 (UTC)- I did some research. Apparently, angioedema is often treated with antihistamines or corticosteroids to reduce swelling, while anaphylaxis requires immediate epinephrine injection to counteract severe allergic reactions. Simple as that... Luigi Cotocea (talk) 15:19, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
