Allergic Acute Coronary Syndrome —Kounis Syndrome
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in the setting of an allergic/immunologic reaction is known as Kounis syndrome. It is an underdiagnosed and underrecognized disease entity. One must keep a high index of suspicions when managing a patient presenting with cardiac as well as allergic symptoms. There are 3 main variants to the syndrome. Treating the allergic reaction may alleviate the pain; however, ACS guidelines should be followed if cardiac ischemia is present. (Source: Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North America)

Kounis syndrome in a patient following AstraZeneca coronavirus disease 2019 vaccination: a case report
ConclusionThis syndrome should be suspected when there is a concurrent acute coronary syndrome with allergic reactions. This is an often under- or misdiagnosed condition, and physicians should be educated about it. Caregivers should be aware of its pathophysiology, as treatment of either of the two may worsen the other injury. (Source: Journal of Medical Case Reports)

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 too...

Kounis syndrome in a patient with multivessel coronary artery disease and DRESS
This report highlights the complex pathophysiology of ST-elevation myocardial infarction, especially when non-atherosclerotic causes overlap with established atherosclerosis, and the elusive link between the site of coronary occlusion and the corresponding ST-segment changes. AbstractA 68-year-old man was admitted with ST-elevation myocardial infarction and intense rash. He was diagnosed with type 2 Kounis syndrome elicited by drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome and received complete revascularization with percutaneous coronary intervention. This case highlights the complex pathophysiolog...
