ABSTRACT
Samter's triad is a well known syndrome and is characterized by a triad of asthma, aspirin or NSAID sensitivity and chronic sinusitis with nasal polyp. Chronic sinusitis with Samter's triad is difficult to treat completely and has poor prognosis. Tramadol is a non-opioid analgesic that rarely shows respiratory suppression and is known to be relatively safe because it does not inhibit prostaglandin synthesis. For that reason, patients with asthma may avoid drug-induced exacerbations of the disease by substituting Tramadol for NSAIDs. We experienced a case of asthma attack in a patient with Samter's triad after Tramadol injection.
