Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) exacerbated respiratory disease (N-ERD) are characterized by non-allergic hypersensitivity (intolerance) to NSAIDs and aspirin in patients with asthma and/or eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Asthma in N-ERD patients is usually characterized by eosinophilic inflammation, tends to become severe and intractable, and needs chronic oral corticosteroid therapy. For some patients recurrent CSwNP is more significant problem due to nasal congestion, anosmia, and multiple repeated surgeries. Intolerance to aspirin and other NSAIDs limits the choice of pain relievers and antipyretics. Accidental use of these medications can lead to dangerous consequences, including anaphylaxis. This review presents the current understanding of the N-ERD pathogenesis and perspective trends in therapy.

To the Editor.— We read with great interest the article by Lindsley and Godfrey1 but wish to disagree with one of their conclusions. They suggested that oral corticosteroid therapy is the treatment of choice in sarcoid arthropathy because salicylate and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have only limited success in such cases. We believe, however, that this is not the case, because low-dosage colchicine therapy has provided good results in the agement of both the acute and chronic forms of sarcoid arthropathy when there was no adequate response to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents and bed rest. Colchicine was first used in the treatment of sarcoid arthropathy by Kaplan,2,3 who reported a dramatic improvement, usually within a few days, with the use of 0.5 mg of oral colchicine daily. Subsequently, maintenance oral therapy with colchicine, 1 to 2 mg/d, was introduced to treat the chronic form of the disease, with similar beneficial results.3-7

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the first-line medications for ankylosing spondylitis (AS); their action is associated with blockade of the enzyme cyclooxygenase 2 and with a mediated decrease in the synthesis of prostaglandins (PGs). However, PGs play an important role in regulating the functions of the female reproductive system. The paper presents an update on the participation of PG in folliculogenesis, ovulation, implantation, and development of the embryo, and labor activity. Based on experimental and clinical findings, the authors discuss whether due to inhibition of the synthesis of PGs, NSAIDs are able to cause ovulation failure, including luteinized unovulated follicle syndrome and spontaneous abortions. Further investigation is justified to determine the most optimal NSAID therapy regimens when planning pregnancy and during gestation in women with AS.
