The manifestations have been consistent with recurrent episodes occurring at least four times during any past 12-month period, requiring intermittent systemic immunosuppressive therapy for control.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's angioedema has manifested as recurrent episodes occurring at least four times during any past 12-month period, requiring intermittent systemic immunosuppressive therapy for control.
