BACKGROUND There has been no study investigating nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)-exacerbated respiratory disease (NERD) exclusively in childhood. Therefore, in the current study, the authors aimed to evaluate the diagnostic features, clinical characteristics, and follow-up of adolescents diagnosed with NERD. METHODS The patients who were consecutively diagnosed with NERD between January 2011, and November 2013, included in the study. Oral provocation test (OPT) with at least 2 different NSAIDs was used to confirm NSAID hypersensitivity in patients with underlying asthma/chronic rhinosinusitis/nasal polyps. All patients were followed regularly in 3-month intervals by the Pediatric Allergy and Otorhinolaryngology Department for asthma, allergic rhinitis, or chronic rhinosinusitis with or without nasal polyps. RESULTS A total of 10 adolescents with NERD were included in the study. The mean age of the patients at the time of diagnosis was 14.9 ± 1.5 years. Hives or angioedema accompanied respiratory complaints induced by NSAIDs. The mean duration of follow-up was 28.9 ± 12.4 months. All patients had asthma except 1 with asymptomatic bronchial hyperreactivity. Asthma of patients was well-controlled with moderate dose of inhaled corticosteroids. Chronic rhinosinusitis with or without nasal polyps developed in 2 patients. Aspirin desensitization was required in these 2 patients with recurrent nasal polyps. CONCLUSIONS NERD in childhood has much more favorable clinical characteristics and course than in adulthood. Few adolescents with NERD refer with typical chronic upper respiratory tract complaints. The asthma component seems to be mild and is well controlled in the short-term follow-up.

D000894 Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory agents that are non-steroidal in nature. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, they have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis accounts for their analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions; other mechanisms may contribute to their anti-inflammatory effects.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
