AERD is of NSAID ingestion, the levels of cysteinyl-leukotrienes a synonym for the “aspirin triad” of asthma, nasal polyposis are constitutively elevated in the bronchoalveolar lavage and sensitivity to aspirin originally described by Widal fluid, sputum, exhaled breath condensate, nasal secretions, ninety years ago. AERD patients typically experience severe saliva, blood and urine of AERD patients compared to bronchoconstriction and/or rhinoconjunctival reactions to aspirin-tolerant individuals [4]. That the further triggering aspirin, and also to other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory of cysteinyl-leukotriene synthesis is important in acute drugs (NSAID), even those which they have not encountered AERD was established by studies with leukotriene synthesis previously [1]. The reactions reflect non-allergic hypersensi- inhibitors and leukotriene receptor antagonists [5]. The tivity as many AERD patients are not atopic and the reactions central mystery in AERD remains why only these patients, to NSAIDs are not usually IgE-mediated.
