Aspirin desensitization achieved after omalizumab treatment in a patient with aspirin-exacerbated urticaria and respiratory disease.

Clinical and Immunological Efficacy of Aspirin Desensitization in Nasal Polyp Patients with Aspirin-Exacerbated Respiratory Disease

This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and the underlining mechanism of aspirindesensitization among patients with Aspirin Exacerbated Respiratory Disease (AERD). Thirtyeightpatients, who had undergone an aspirin challenge test and were diagnosed as havingAERD, were engaged in a double-blind randomized clinical trial. They were divided into twogroups—an active group of patients who went t...

Aspirin tolerance following omalizumab therapy in a patient with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease.

A plane screw fixation is a nidus for Paecilomyces sinusitis in a patient with aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease

Titanium plane screw fixation of the frontal sinus is an approach used by otolaryngologists to obliterate this space in an attempt to reduce sinus infections. In this case, however, the titanium used became a nidus of infection which cultured the fungus Paecilomyces. The patient also had a hypersensitivity reaction to mold with positive skin tests and IgE, as well as eosinophilic esophagitis. T...

Primary Cutaneous Vasculitis Masquerading as Drug Induced following Aspirin Desensitization

Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is a well-known clinical condition. Aspirin desensitization followed by daily aspirin therapy is the treatment of choice. We report a challenging case of primary cutaneous vasculitis following aspirin desensitization in a patient with AERD. The vasculitis was likely suppressed with higher dose systemic steroid use to control asthma. Aspirin desensi...
