Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
“Kounis syndrome”, otherwise known as “allergic angina” or “allergic myocardial infarction”, refers to acute coronary syndrome occurring due to allergic, hypersensitivity or anaphylactoid reaction(1). It results due to activation of mast cells, leading to vasospasm of coronary artery and/or erosion or rupture of atherosclerotic plaque. Here, we present a probable case of Kounis syndrome Type 1 induced by a scorpion sting.
