ABSTRACT

Background:

Individuals who develop drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) to chemically unrelated nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are considered cross-hypersensitive. The hallmark for this classification is that the patient presents a reaction after intake of or challenge with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). Whether patients react to 2 or more NSAIDs while tolerating ASA remains to be studied (selective reactions, SRs).

Objective:

To identify patients with SRs to 2 or more NSAIDs including strong COX-1 inhibitors.

Methods:

Patients who attended the Allergy Service of Hospital Infanta Leonor, Madrid, Spain with DHRs to NSAIDs between January 2011 and December 2014 were evaluated. Those with 2 or more immediate reactions occurring in less than 1 hour after intake were included. After confirming tolerance to ASA, the selectivity of the response to 2 or more NSAIDs was demonstrated by in vivo and/or in itro testing or by controlled administration.

Results:

From a total of 203 patients with immediate DHRs to NSAIDs, 16 (7.9%) met the inclusion criteria. The patients presented a total of 68 anaphylactic or cutaneous reactions (mean [SD], 4.2 [2.1]). Most reactions were to ibuprofen and other arylpropionic acid derivatives and to metamizole. Two different NSAIDs were involved in 11 patients and 3 in 5 patients.

Conclusions:

Patients with NSAID-induced anaphylaxis or urticaria/angioedema should not be considered cross-hypersensitive unless tolerance to ASA is verified (AU)
RESUMEN

Introducción:

Los individuos que desarrollan reacciones de hipersensibilidad a antiinflamatorios no esteroideos (AINE) no relacionados químicamente se consideran intolerantes cruzados. La característica esencial para ser incluidos en esta categoría es que presenten un resultado positivo tras la administración de AAS. La cuestión de si estos pacientes responden a dos o más AINE y toleran AAS no ha sido estudiada (reacciones selectivas a múltiples AINE, RS).

Objetivos:

Identificar pacientes con RS a dos o más AINE, incluidos inhibidores potentes de COX-1.

Métodos:

Se evaluaron los pacientes que acudieron al servicio de alergia del Hospital Infanta Leonor con una historia de hipersensibilidad a AINE desde enero de 2011 a diciembre de 2014. Únicamente se consideraron los casos con dos o más reacciones a AINE diferentes y que se produjeron durante la primera hora tras la ingesta del fármaco (reacciones inmediatas). Tras confirmar la tolerancia a AAS, se evaluó la selectividad de la reacción mediante pruebas in vivo/in vitro o administración controlada del medicamento.

Resultados:

De un total de 203 pacientes con reacciones inmediatas a AINE 16 (7,9%) se ajustaron a los criterios establecidos. Los pacientes presentaron 68 reacciones anafilácticas o urticaria/angioedema (media de 4,2±2,1). El ibuprofeno y otros derivados arilpropiónicos y el metamizol fueron los fármacos más frecuentemente implicados. En 11 pacientes las reacciones fueron inducidas por dos AINE diferentes, mientras que en otros 5 fueron tres los medicamentos implicados.

Conclusiones:

Los pacientes con anafilaxia o urticaria/angioedema a diferentes AINE no deben ser incluidos dentro del grupo de intolerancia cruzada hasta verificar su tolerancia a AAS (AU)
