Nasal Polyposis and Aspirin-Exacerbated Respiratory Disease
IMMUNOLOGY AND ALLERGY CLINICS OF NORTH AMERICA(2020)
Abstract
Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is characterized by eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, asthma, and upper-/lower-respiratory tract reactions to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Persistent, severe disease, anosmia, and alcohol sensitivity is typical. AERD is mediated by multiple pathways, including aberrant arachidonic acid metabolism leading to elevated leukotriene E4 and decreased prostaglandin E2. Mast cell mediators (prostaglandin D2) and unique properties of eosinophils and type 2 innate lymphoid cells, along with receptor-mediated signaling, also contribute to AERD pathogenesis. Pharmacologic therapies are a cornerstone of AERD treatment and include leukotriene modifiers, corticosteroids, biologics, and aspirin.
