Abstract
Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) most often includes a triad of symptoms: bronchial asthma, rhinosinusitis polyposa, hypersensitivity to acetylsalicylic acid and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. There are also variants of AERD, limited only to the involvement of the upper respiratory tract. AERD is a multifactorial pathology; lipid mediators, imbalance of congenital and adaptive immune responses, dysfunction of the epithelial barrier, and various external factors play a role in its development. Characteristic features of AERD include T2-endotypes of inflammation, as well as pronounced eosinophilic infiltration of the upper and lower respiratory tract. Diagnosis is based on anamnestic and clinical signs; in the absence of a typical medical history, the diagnosis is confirmed by aspirin provocation test. Treatment includes anti-inflammatory drugs (corticosteroids, anti-leukotriene drugs), exclusion/restriction of triggers and desensitization with aspirin according to strict indications, as well as a new direction - targeted therapy with biological preparations.
