It occurs in middle age (twenties and thiies are the most common onset times) and may not include any allergies. Most commonly, the first symptom is rhinitis. The disorder typically progeses to asthma, then polyposis, with aspirin sensitivity coming last. The aspirin reaction can be severe, including an asthma attack, anaphylaxis, and uicaria in some cases.

Anosmia (lack of smell) is also typical, as the inflammation reaches the olfactory receptors in the nose.
