• sembra essere la più alta dopo quella degli antibiotici

• in alcuni Centri però le Reazioni Avverse a tali farmaci sembrano essere quelle più frequenti in assoluto

• stimata fra lo 0.6 e il 5.7% nella popolazione generale (le percentuali variano significativamente in relazione alla popolazione studiata, al metodo di valutazione e al tipo di reazione)

I mediatori infiammatori non sono liberati attraverso specifici meccanismi immunologici.

I farmaci antinfiammatori non steroidei sono quelli maggiormente responsabili di queste reazioni , insieme a chemioterapici, biologici, con sempre maggiore

frequenza.

Pharmacological reactions induced by NSAIDs are dependent on inhibition of the COX-1 pathway and presumed immunologic mediated reactions are dependent on drug-specific IgE production against an NSAID.

Specifically, a roundtable was organized to establish a consensus on somecontroversial issues regarding the diagnosis of hypersensitivity reactions to NSAIDs.

Kowalski (Lodz, Poland) acted as chairman, and the other participants were Asero (Paderno Dugnano, Italy), Blanca (Malaga, Spain), Sanchez-Borges (Caracas, Venezuela), and Woessner (San Diego, Calif).

Participants agreed with the classification proposed by Kowalski, which distinguished between acute (appearing from a few minutes to several hours after the last NSAID administration) and delayed (appearing after >24 hours) reactions (Table II)

NSAIDs-exacerbated respiratory disease (NERD) NSAIDs-exacerbated respiratory disease (NERD)

Epidemiology• 4.3 to 20%,• female gender, • skin prick test positivity to aeroallergens

Pathomechanisms of NERD• inhibition of COX-1 (cysteinyl leukotrienes (LTs) are major but not exclusive mediators)• represent a cross-reactive type of nonallergic drug hypersensitivity

Clinical presentation• bronchial obstruction, dyspnea and nasal congestion/rhinorrhea • develops within 0.5 –3 h• patients with an underlying chronic airway respiratory disease (Asthma/ rhinosinusitis/nasal polyps).

Page 14: U.O.S. Allergologia e Immunologia Clinica · N.O.S.G.D. U.O.S. Allergologia e Immunologia Clinica Ospedale San Giovanni di Dio Azienda Sanitaria di Firenze Responsabile: Dr. Maurizio

Diagnosis• well-documented history• provocation test (to confirm the presence of hypersensitivity to aspirin and

other cross-reactive NSAIDs): • oral provocation test with aspirin (sensitivity ranges from 89 to 90%)• inhalation provocation test with lysine aspirin (L-ASA), • nasal challenges with (L-ASA)

Management• avoidance of aspirin and other cross-reacting NSAIDs • well tolerated

• weak inhibitor of COX-1, paracetamol in low (<1000 mg) doses,• selective COX2 inhibitors (1–2% with unstable asthma may also react)

• antileukotriene drugs, sinus surgery, chronic treatment with aspirin after desensitization (600–1200 mg daily)

Epidemiology• NSAIDs may be an aggravating factor in approximately 10–30% of adults with chronic urticaria (older studies up to 50%)

Pathomechanisms of NERD• inhibition of COX-1 (cysteinyl leukotrienes (LTs) are major but not exclusive mediators)• represent a cross-reactive type of nonallergic drug hypersensitivity

Clinical presentation• wheals and/or angioedema • appear usually 0.5–6 h after drug ingestion• suffer from chronic spontaneous urticaria that can be also exacerbated by triggers other than NSAIDs (infections, antibiotics, physical factors, stress)• dose dependent (greater when CU is active, less intense when CU is in remission or under control)• may precede the onset of chronic spontaneous urticaria by years

Diagnosis• a history (usually not reliable)• provocation test (if underlying skin disease is controlled):

• oral provocation test with the culprit drug to confirm the hypersensitivity should be done if the history is unclear or when a definite diagnosis is required (has to be judged)• oral provocation test with the alternative NSAIDs to confirm/exclude a cross-reactive type of hypersensitivity: (if aspirin is not the culprit drug, an oral challenge test with aspirin should be performed)

Management• avoidance of culprit NSAIDs as well as other NSAIDs with strong COX-1 inhibitory activity• oral tolerance tests with alternative analgesic drug

• weak inhibitor of COX-1, paracetamol• preferential COX-2 inhibitors, such as nimesulide, or meloxicam • selective COX2 inhibitors (coxibs) (tolerated 75–90%)

Single NSAID induced urticaria/angioedema or anaphylaxis (SNIUAA)Single NSAID induced urticaria/angioedema or anaphylaxis (SNIUAA)

Epidemiology• up to 30% of all NSAIDs-induced skin reactions• usually do not have a history of chronic urticaria or asthma• may have a history of hypersensitivity to food or other drugs (e.g., antibiotics)

Pathomechanisms• symptoms and timing of reactions suggest an allergic type I mechanism• in a small proportion of patients, specific IgE can be detected in the skin test, in the serum or on peripheral blood basophils

Clinical presentation• from mild urticaria and localized angioedema to laryngeal edema and anaphylaxis• single NSAID or to several NSAIDs belonging to the same chemical group and good tolerance to other chemically unrelated NSAIDs• may develop within seconds (e.g., after intravenous injection of metamizol) or minutes (after oral exposure)

Diagnosis• history of immediate symptoms, of tolerance to other chemically unrelated drugs• oral challenge with a chemically unrelated strong COX-1 inhibitor to verify the possible existence of cross-intolerance by challenge with alternative NSAIDs (usually aspirin), has to be judged• skin tests with the culprit drug

- documented for pyrazolones (other-than-pyrazolones NSAIDs has not been proven in large series positive skin tests) - decrease with the time elapsed from the reaction

• drug-specific IgE in serum is not recommended• Basophil activation test (CD63/CD203) with a culprit drug has been reported to be of diagnostic value for metamizol, but not for other NSAIDs

• the most frequently described causes of this type of reaction are pyrazolones, ibuprofen, diclofenac, aspirin, and paracetamol

Management• patient can safely take other chemically unrelated NSAIDs

Single NSAIDs induced delayed hypersensitivity reactions (NIDHR) Single NSAIDs induced delayed hypersensitivity reactions (NIDHR)

Epidemiology• the prevalence is not known

Pathomechanisms• stimulation of drug-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells through their T-cell receptors (TCR)

Clinical presentation• more than 24 h (usually within 24–48 h) after exposure• the skin is the organ most frequently involved,

• mild symptoms (usually) such as MPE, FDEs, photosensitivity reactions, delayed urticaria, contact dermatitis • more severe reactions such as SJS/TEN, Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustulosis (AGEP), Drug-Induced Hypersensitivity Syndrome (DIHS/DRESS), occur less frequently • other organ-specific reactions involving lung (pneumonitis) or kidneys (nephritis) have been observed rarely

Diagnosis• clinical history• Intradermal skin test with delayed reading with NSAIDs (is more sensitive than patch tests)• patch tests with specific NSAIDs, particularly in cases of contact dermatitis, FDE (‘in loco patch testing’) and Photoallergic reactions (Photopatch tests), but not sufficiently standardized

• drug provocation tests with culprit (there is no standardized protocol)• can be considered: MPE, delayed urticaria, and FDEs • contraindicated: bullous drug eruptions such as TEN, Stevens–Johnson syndrome, AGEP, or organ-specific reactions (e.g., nephritis)

• drug provocation with alternative NSAIDs can be performed in all other situations

• lymphocyte transformation test (LTT), there are limited data on the diagnostic value and cannot be recommended for routine diagnosis

Oral challenge with NSAID

(i) with a culprit drug to confirm hypersensitivity, remains the gold standard (all patients with equivocal history should be tested)

• oral provocation test (negative predictive value: 97.8%, positive predictive value: close to 100%)• inhaled provocation test with lysine aspirin• intranasal provocation test with soluble aspirin or ketorolac

(ii) with other than causative NSAIDs (usually challenge testwith aspirin) in order to confirm/exclude cross-reactivity

(iii) with the most likely tolerated alternative drug - toleranceTest - (e.g., selective COX-2 inhibitor or paracetamol if NERD has been diagnosed)
