RESUMEN
Type-2 inflammation is the most frequent endophenotype of asthma. Different biomarkers have been proposed to identify this inflammation because highly effective therapies have improved type-2 severe asthma control. We investigated the frequency of some biomarkers of type-2 inflammation (total IgE, sIgE, blood eosinophil, and FeNO) in the framework of severe asthma and assessed its ability to help us to choose the best biological therapy for each patient. Different scenarios (sensitivity analysis) were evaluated according to the biomarkers proposed for each biological therapy in 72 patients with type-2 severe asthma. Between 54.1% and 68% of patients could receive at least 2 different biological therapies and 34.7%-40.2% could receive any of the 3 types of therapies (anti-IgE, anti-eosinophil, anti-IL4). Biomarkers help to identify type-2 severe asthma but total IgE, sIgE, blood eosinophil, and FeNO are not enough to select 1 specific therapy. With the increasing arrival of new biological therapies, it is necessary to identify new biomarkers that allow us to improve our selection criteria for the best therapy for each patient or to construct a prediction rule.
RESUMEN
Los antiinflamatorios no esteroides son la segunda causa de reacciones a medicamentos después de los beta-lactámicos. La prevalencia de las reacciones a antiinflamatorios no esteroideos en la población general es de 0,1% a 0,3% y la prevalencia de anafilaxia inducida por ellos es de 0,01%. La intolerancia al ácido acetilsalicílico o a los antiinflamatorios no esteroides se presenta con síntomas como urticaria aguda, angioedema, crisis asmática, enfermedad respiratoria exacerbada por ácido acetilsalicílico y anafilaxia. Presentamos una revisión actualizada basada en tres casos de pacientes con intolerancia al ácido acetilsalicílico o a los antiinflamatorios no esteroideos que, por sus enfermedades concomitantes, requerían tratamiento permanente conácido acetilsalicílico. Después de someterlos a un protocolo de desensibilización rápida ácido acetilsalicílico en una unidad de cuidados intensivos, estos pacientes pudieron continuar recibiendo ácido acetilsalicílico diariamente sin efectos adversos.
Adverse reactions to nonsteroidal antinflammatory drugs are the second cause of reactions to drugs after beta-lactams. Prevalence of these reactions among general population is between 0.1-0.3%, and prevalence of nonsteroidal antinflammatory drug-induced anaphylaxis is 0.01%. Acetylsalicylic acid or nonsteroidal antinflammatory drug sensitivity can be manifested as acute urticaria, angioedema, acute asthma, acetylsalicylic acid exacerbated respiratory disease and anaphylaxis. An updated review based on three cases of patientes with acetylsalicylic acid or nonsteroidal antinflammatory drug intolerance is presented in which, because of their concomitant diseases, permanent treatment with acetylsalicylic acid was required. After undergoing a fast acetylsalicylic acid desentization protocol in an intensive care unit, these patients were able to receive daily acetylsalicylic acid doses without any adverse effects.
