Background: Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor-induced angioedema (AE-ACEI) is a life-threatening adverse event and, globally, the commonest cause of emergency presentations with angioedema. Several large genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have found genomic associations with AE-ACEI. However, despite African Americans having a 5-fold increased risk of AE-ACEI, there are no published GWAS from Africa.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are used primarily in the treatment of hypertension, heart failure, and in the acute phase of myocardial infarction. Lisinopril [N-[(1S)-1-car-boxy-3-phenylpropyl]-L-lysyl-L-proline], enalapril [(S)-1-[N-[1-(ethoxycarbonyl)-3-phenylpropyl]-L-alanyl]-L-proline] and ramipril [2-aza-bicyclo-[3.3.

Angioedema is a rare but known side effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor therapy. The most common presentations of ACE inhibitor-induced angioedema describe swellings in the oropharyngeal and periorbital regions. We describe a rare case of a 58-year-old female with a history of type 2 diabetes and hypertension taking lisinopril for the past three years and presented with recurrent episodes of abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting around the same time she started taking the drug.
