Abstract
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug Exacerbated Respiratory Disease (NSAID-ERD) is a distinct clinical syndrome characterized by NSAID hypersensitivity, asthma, and nasal polyposis. Its diagnosis is challenging due to variable presentations and a lack of simple tests, leading to diagnostic delays. Recent research has revealed its genetic predispositions, environmental triggers, and associations with atopy and second-hand tobacco smoke exposure or smoking cessation. Despite its severity, diagnostic awareness remains low, leading to the delay in effective management. Therapeutically, NSAID-ERD necessitates multidisciplinary approaches, often combining surgical interventions with medical management, including aspirin desensitization and biologic agents. However, predictive biomarkers for treatment response remain elusive. Understanding the underlying mechanisms driving NSAID-ERD pathogenesis and identifying reliable biomarkers are crucial for enhancing diagnostic accuracy and refining targeted therapeutic strategies for this debilitating condition. This review aims to provide a thorough understanding of NSAID-ERD, covering its history, clinical features, epidemiology, diagnosis, systemic and molecular biomarkers, available treatment options, and avenues for future research.
