Abstract:
Aspirin and NSAIDs idiosyncracy is rare in childhood and usually occurs in adults with intrinsic asthma. We have experienced three adolescences, 14, 15 and 16 year-old boys who complained of urticaria and angioedema after having antipyretics and/or analgesics. We confirmed them as aspirin idiosyncracy with oral challenge test. Urticaria and angioedema were developed after ingestion of aspirin.
