Abstract:
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most common providers of immediate hypersensitivity reactions. Among these reactions, isolated acute urticaria is the most common clinical feature with a non-allergic origin. It is a pharmacological side effect resulting from the alteration of arachidonic acid metabolism induced by NSAIDs. Diagnosis of this acute urticaria is clinical, requiring no allergy testing. Currently, the recommended therapeutic management of NSAID urticaria is the avoidance of all NSAID with COX-1 inhibitor activity (even if when reintroduced, they are most often well tolerated) and the use of selective COX-2 inhibitors. This review focuses on urticaria reactions to NSAIDs, which are simple to manage.
