Abstract:
Kounis syndrome (KS) has been defined as an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) triggered by allergic/hypersensitivity reactions induced by various conditions, drugs, environmental factors, foods, and coronary stents. Three types of Kounis syndrome have been described to date: vasospastic allergic angina, allergic myocardial infarction, and stent thrombosis. Despite the clinical manifestations of Kounis syndrome expanding and its aetiology continuously increasing, it is still an underdiagnosed entity. Herein, I present a case of Type II Kounis syndrome after intake of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, which appeared to be Type I.
