  2. Asprin-induced asthma – the oldest known asthma phenotype • „Patient J.M. , 40 years old • The disease began 11 years ago (in 1912) with symptoms of rhinitis related to polypoid mucosal hypertrophy and associated with frequent „colds” and coughing, but without fever . • He had several polypectomies which relieved symptoms temporarily … • Few years later he experienced an acute asthma attack at night after ingesting a tablet of aspirin … • He suffers a severe asthma with several attacks during day and night … • Diagnosis : Asthma bronchiale.Rhinitide chronica hyperplastica polyposa (asthma reflectorium). Anaphylaxia ex usu aspirini „ M. Wierzuchowski Pol. Arch. Med. Wewn. 1925 ,2,25-75

  3. 1975 - A. Szczeklik “ prostglandininhibition” theory of AIA The milestones in the history of aspirin sensitivity • 1902 – R. Hirschberg the first case of ASA- sensitivity reported Paris, France • 1922 - F. Widal“ASA-triad” Poznań, Poland Kraków, Poland • 1967- M.SamterASA-sensitivity as a clinical entity Chicago,USA

  6. AERD as a severeasthmaphenotype • Higher medication requirements, including dependence on oral GCS (Szczeklik A. et al. 2000) • Irreversible airway obstruction • More likely to have been intubated and to have a steroid burst in the previous three months ( Mascia K et al. 2005) • Frequent exacerbations • ( Koga T. Et al. 2006) • Association with near fatal asthma (Plaza W. et al. 2002) Riskfactors for severeasthma OR =2.6 Odds Ratio Wheezing in childhood BMI AIA ML Kowalski et al.Allergy 2010 ,in press

  13. Role of infectionsinthepathogenesis of AERD • Viral hypothesis (A. Szczeklik;1988) • Flu-like symptoms precede the development of aspirin-sensitivity • Chronic viral respiratory tract infection may both initiate and perpetuate chronic airway inflammation in AERD • Enterotoxin hypothesis (C. Bachert; 2005) • (Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxins (SAE)are potent superantigens and inflammatory cell activators • Specific IgE to SAE have been found in nasal polyp tissue • sIgE to SAE are associated with eosinophilic inflammation in rhinosinusitis

  16. Diagnosis of respiratory type of hypersensitivity to NSAIDs • History • Aspirin challenge • Oral • Inhaled • Intranasal • In vitro testing • Cellular activation tests • BAT • ASPITest (15-HETE) • Urinary LTE4 • Genetic testing Aspirin-Sensitive Patients Identification Test (ASPITest) Sensitivity 82% PPV 79% Specificity 83% NPV 86% M.L.Kowalski et al. Allergy 2005,60,1139-45

  17. Management of ASA-sensitive rhinosinusitis/asthma Avoidance of NSAIDs Recommendations for selectiveCOX-2 inhibitors Pharmacologic treatment Intranasal /inhaled glucocorticosteroids Leukotriene antagonists – as effective as in ASA-tolerant patients Sinus surgery / polypectomy Less effective in ASA-sensitive Aspirin desensitization Clinical use: risks / benefits

  19. Cox-2 inhibitors and in AERD • Aspirin-induced asthma is a COX-1 dependent phenomenon • Preferential COX-2 inhibitors are tolerated by 80-90% of ASA-sensitive asthmatics • Selective COX-2 inhibitors are generally well tolerated • COX-2 selective NSAIDs can be used by ASA-sensitive asthmatics, but tolerance test is recommended before an alternative drug is prescribed • Single reports of COX-2 inhibitor-induced asthmatics reactions were published • Celcoxib -3 • Rofecoxib -1 • Etoricoxib -1 FEV1% R.

  21. Endoscopic Sinus Surgery and CRS outcomes in ASA-sensitive and ASA-tolerant patients Endoscopy scores before and after ESS * Patients • 19 ASA-sensitive and 104 ASA-tolerant patients with CRS were recruited to prospective study • Patients were subjected to ESS and followed for a mean of 17,7 months after surgery Results • Similar proportions of ASA sensitive and ASA-tolerant patients had improved: • Endoscopic score • Quality of Life scores • Larger proportion of ASA-sensitive patients reported increased medication use Increaseinmedicationuse ).Robinson JL et al.. The Laryngoscope 2007 ,117,830

  22. Aspirindesensitizationinpatientswith AERD • Daily oral ASA after desensitization (300-2400mg) in some patients may lead to: • Improvement in asthma symptoms • Improvement in rhinosinusitis symptoms • Decreased need for sinus surgery/polypectomy • 1923 F. Vidal reported „desensitization” to aspirin • 1976 C. R. Zeiss & R.F. Lockey described refractory period to aspirin • 1981 D.D. Stevenson reported clinical benefits of prolonged treatment with aspirin after desensitization

  23. Indications for ASA- desensitization • Aspirin sensitive asthma/rhinosinusitis • Patients with aggressive polypoid CRS • Patients do not responding to pharmacological treatment • Corticosteroid-induced side effects • ASA-sensitive patients with • Coronary heart disease • Antiphospholytic syndrome • Chronic inflammatory diseases (AR; OA)
