ABSTRACT
We studied case series of 6 patients admitted with hypersensitivity and acute coronary syndrome. Kounis syndrome is local manifestation of generalised hypersensitivity reaction. Kounis syndrome (allergic angina) is not rare but rarely recognized and under-diagnosed. Serum tryptase is diagnostic biomarker of diagnose KS. Patients were treated with antihistaminic, adrenaline, steroid. In all patient having hypersensitivity reaction due to various triggers kounis syndrome should be suspected with high index of suspicion
ABSTRACT
Objective Urticaria,itchy skin,chest tightness,abdominal pain and anaphylactic shock are the common clinical manifestations of allergic reactions.In addition,the relevant literature indicates that allergies can cause coronary vasospasm or rupture of atherosclerotic plaque, leading to acute coronary syndrome,which is named Kounis syndrome.Here we report a case of a child admitted to the emergency departments with myocardial injury and ST depression on electrocardiography while a severe allergic reaction.The patient was discharged from the hospital after receiving anti?allergic and nutritional myocardial medication.I hope that we can learn more about Kounis syndrome through this case.
