Aspirin allergy has long been recognized, and a number of reports of severe reactions, some fatal, have appeared in the literature.1 The present discussion, however, does not deal particularly with these acute reactions to aspirin, but rather with the relationship of this drug hypersensitivity to the etiology of the chronic asthma which these individuals display.We have reviewed the findings in 45 private patients who fall into this...Bibliography1.
