Acute Coronary Syndrome Following Consumption of Kiwi Juice: A Rare Presentation

Kounis syndrome is a rare phenomenon wherein cardiovascular symptoms develop after allergic or hypersensitivity reactions. We present the case of a 51-year-old male who developed anaphylactic shock after consuming kiwi fruit juice, followed by acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Coronary angiography showed normal coronary arteries. This case emphasizes the importance of considering Kounis syndrome in patients with anaphylaxis and acute coronary symptoms.

Abstract

Kounis syndrome is a rare phenomenon wherein cardiovascular symptoms develop after allergic or hypersensitivity reactions. We present the case of a 51-year-old male who developed anaphylactic shock after consuming kiwi fruit juice, followed by acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Coronary angiography showed normal coronary arteries. This case emphasizes the importance of considering Kounis syndrome in patients with anaphylaxis and acute coronary symptoms.
