Cases of allergic coronary syndrome (Kounis syndrome) : what we should know

We present four cases of acute coronary syndrome developing after insect bites, chemotherapy, and coronary stent implantation. Two patients were lost due to anaphylactic shock-related multiorgan failures and sudden cardiac death. Since a wide range of drugs, foods, environmental conditions, and disease states may be associated with KS, all physicians must be aware of the syndrome.PMID:36237895 | PMC:PMC9529627 | DOI:10.18999/nagjms.84.3.664
