  • Title: Clinical Characteristics of Aspirin-Exacerbated Respiratory Disease.
    Author: Stevenson DD, White AA.
    Journal: Immunol Allergy Clin North Am; 2016 Nov; 36(4):643-655. PubMed ID: 27712760.
    Abstract:
    Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease is a significant endotype of both asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. The disease demonstrates what seems to be a unified inflammatory mechanism culminating in highly eosinophilic nasal polyp disease and asthma. The rate of polyp recurrence and morbidity from asthma exacerbations are significant and warrant separating this group diagnostically from aspirin-tolerant peers. Given the unique anti-inflammatory effects of aspirin and the evolving landscape of new, targeted biologic treatments, it is even more incumbent to consider this diagnosis and offer patients treatment specific for the disease.
