    Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD), also called NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease (N-ERD) or historically aspirin-induced asthma and Samter's Triad, is a long-term disease defined by three simultaneous symptoms: asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, and intolerance of aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

    ACO presents with symptoms of both asthma and COPD.

    While the acronyms are similar, reactive airway disease (RAD) and reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) are not the same. [1]Reactive airways dysfunction syndrome was first identified by Stuart M. Brooks and colleagues in 1985 as an asthma-like syndrome developing after a single exposure to high levels of an irritating vapor, fume, or smoke.

    Estimates of between 0.5 and 3.5% have been made for ABPA burden in asthma, [32] [33] and 1–17.7% in CF. [32] [34] Five national cohorts, detecting ABPA prevalence in asthma (based on GINA estimates), [35] were used in a recent meta-analysis to produce an estimate of the global burden of ABPA complicating asthma. From 193 million people with ...

    Patients may experience dizziness, heart palpitations, hyperglycemia, diarrhea and muscle cramps when taking these medications. Importantly, medications that antagonize the β2 receptor (β-blockers) may significantly increase the risk of asthma exacerbations, and are generally avoided in asthmatic patients. [7]
