Acute Coronary Syndrome - STEMI due to Kounis Syndrome in a Patient with Honey Bee Stings: A Case Report

This case report describes a 60 year old male who presented with acute coronary syndrome -STEMI due to Kounis syndrome following multiple honey bee stings. Initial treatment at a local hospital revealed ST elevations on the ECG, indicating acute inferolateral and right ventricular myocardial infarction. Further evaluation at our hospital showed 100% occlusion in the proximal RCA and 99% stenosis in the LAD. The patient underwent successful percutaneous coronary angioplasty with drugeluting stents. This case emphasizes the importance of considering Kounis syndrome in patients with allergic reactions presenting with chest pain to avoid misdiagnosis and ensure prompt treatment.

Abstract

This case report describes a 60 year old male who presented with acute coronary syndrome -STEMI due to Kounis syndrome following multiple honey bee stings. Initial treatment at a local hospital revealed ST elevations on the ECG, indicating acute inferolateral and right ventricular myocardial infarction. Further evaluation at our hospital showed 100% occlusion in the proximal RCA and 99% stenosis in the LAD. The patient underwent successful percutaneous coronary angioplasty with drugeluting stents. This case emphasizes the importance of considering Kounis syndrome in patients with allergic reactions presenting with chest pain to avoid misdiagnosis and ensure prompt treatment.
