Occurrence of allergic conditions in asthmatics with analgesic intolerance

Background: The study aimed to determine whether allergic conditions accompany analgesic intolerance. Methods: A total of 132 analgesic‐intolerant patients with bronchial asthma admitted to the adult allergy unit from January 1991 to October 1997 and 103 patients with bronchial asthma randomly selec...

Description
Summary:Background: The study aimed to determine whether allergic conditions accompany analgesic intolerance. Methods: A total of 132 analgesic‐intolerant patients with bronchial asthma admitted to the adult allergy unit from January 1991 to October 1997 and 103 patients with bronchial asthma randomly selected from among the asthmatics referred to our department between January and October 1997 were enrolled in the study. Those having analgesic intolerance and bronchial asthma were accepted as group I; patients having only asthma were accepted as group II. A standard questionnaire was completed for all the patients. Physical examination, routine skin prick tests, determination of total IgE levels and blood type, and oral analgesic provocation tests were also performed. Results: The results showed that some allergic conditions were significantly more common in group I (22.7% and 7.8% for food allergy/intolerance [P
