Aspirin-induced urticaria in a recently diagnosed ischemic stroke patient: A case report and literature review.

KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE

NSAIDs may be rare but an important cause of urticarial which should not be missed.

ABSTRACT

The aspirin and urticaria correlation has not been fully understood. The pharmacological inference is suspected to be the diversion of arachidonic acid metabolism. Aspirin sensitivity can aggravate preexisting chronic urticaria and in some instances causes acute urticaria. We report a case of a 53-year-old male, recently diagnosed with a stroke, who presented with complaints of multiple rashes over the trunk and upper extremities with aspirin. NSAIDs induced urticarial are usually neglected by physicians during diagnosis.
