Component

Aspirin-sensitive asthma with nasal polyps

Aspirin-sensitive asthma with nasal polyps. Species, exposure and limitations are retained in each linked claim.

1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

Where it participates (unsigned role)

  1. A 53-year-old aspirin-sensitive asthmatic man with nasal polyps developed an urticarial rash, laboured breathing, laryngeal oedema and chest tightness after a 400 milligram ibuprofen tablet, requiring isoproterenol, subcutaneous epinephrine, intramuscular diphenhydramine and intravenous hydrocortisone; the reaction was not mediated immunologically but resulted from the prostaglandin synthetase inhibitor activity shared by aspirin, ibuprofen and other analgesics, so selection of an analgesic for an aspirin-sensitive patient should be based on that activity.

    A single 400 milligram ibuprofen tablet in a 53-year-old aspirin-sensitive asthmatic with nasal polyps
    limitations
    A single case, but it identifies the basis of the reaction as shared pharmacology rather than immunology, which is what determines whether a substitute drug is safe.

    Ibuprofen research collection; topical membership is not evidence of a direct clinical effect, and the racemate is recorded separately from each of its two enantiomers. · Ibuprofen

    The reaction is not an allergy to the drug but to what the drug does, so any drug that does the same thing will do it too.
