Abstract

Allergic acute coronary syndrome, also known as Kounis syndrome, is currently under-diagnosed as a result of its low disclosure. The case of a 29-year-old man is reported. He was stung by a wasp and developed an acute coronary syndrome with ST segment elevation related to the allergic process. After an appropriate treatment, the patient improved. The case is reported with the aim of raising awareness about a recently described disease that should be consider as a differential diagnosis in the presence of an acute coronary syndrome.
