Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the main triggers of drug hypersensitivity, with NSAID-induced acute urticaria/angioedema (NIUA) the most frequent phenotype. NSAID hypersensitivity is caused by cyclooxygenase 1 inhibition, which leads to an imbalance in prostaglandin (PG) and cysteinyl leukotriene (CysLT) synthesis. As only susceptible individuals develop NSAID hypersensitivity,...
