Drug-Induced Kounis Syndrome: Latest Novelties

This article reviews the literature on drug-induced KS from the last 5  years. Antibiotics and NSAIDs are the most frequently implicated drugs. In addition, data on pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management are reviewed in detail. Highlight that there is a great deal of variability in the diagnosis and especially in the treatment of KS. This re view provides a valuable selection of practical resources for all stakeholders to support effective care for KS, from a cardiologic and allergologic point of view. Future research should focus on developing validated, evidence-based, and patient-centered tools to improve the management of KS.
