Aspirin-sensitive asthma is not well documented in children. It may present as a triad of (1) allergic rhinitis, (2) nasal polyps and/or sinusitis and (3) bronchial asthma precipitated by aspirin. Four cases in children are presented. The pathophysiology probably involves the biosynthesis of prostaglandins.
