Abstract |
|
Based on the
clinical picture and
triggering drugs,
allergic and
pseudoallergic
adverse reactions to
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs (NSAIDs) can
be classified in
four patterns :
respiratory,
cutaneous, mixed and
systemic. This
categorization is
useful for the
purpose of
describing patient
populations included
in studies about
NSAID adverse
reactions as well as
for the routine
management of the
patient in the
clinical setting.
Key words:
Non steroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs. Urticaria.
Angioedema. Asthma.
Cysteinil-leukotrienes.
Cyclooxygenases. |
