Abstract

Acute coronary syndromes secondary to hypersensitivity reactions related with allergic factors are defined as Kounis syndrome. Doxycycline is an antibiotic commonly used in clinical practice. In this report, we described an atypical presentation of Kounis syndrome in a patient who was admitted to the emergency service complaining of chest pain, generalized rash and fever. She was taking doxycycline for 3 days because of urinary tract infection. Non specific ST-T changes were seen on electrocardiography, positive troponin levels were detected and global left ventricular wall motion abnormalities were defined by echocardiography. The patient had no conventional risk factor for acute coronary syndrome. Normal coronary angiography results, improved left ventricular functions and symptoms by antihistaminic and steroid treatments were consistent with Kounis syndrome. All patients admitted with the concurrence of chest pain and allergic symptoms should be asked about exposure to allergens.

Özet

Alerjik etmenlerin neden olduğu hipersensivite reaksiyonlarına sekonder oluşan akut koroner sendromlar Kounis sendromu olarak adlandırılır. Doksisiklin klinik pratikte sık kullanılan bir antibiyotiktir. Bu yazıda, idrar yolu enfeksiyonu nedeniyle üç gündür doksisiklin tedavisi alan, acil servise son 24 saattir olan göğüs ağrısı, yaygın döküntü ve ateş yakınmaları nedeniyle başvuran atipik prezentasyonlu bir Kounis sendromu olgusu sunduk. Elektrokardiyografide non spesifik ST-T değişikliği, troponin pozitifliği ve ekokardiyografide sol ventrikül global duvar hareket kusuru saptanan hasta akut koroner sendrom etyolojisinde yer tutan geleneksel risk faktörlerine sahip değildi. Koroner anjiyografide normal koroner arterler saptanan, antihistaminik ve steroid tedavisiyle yakınmaları ve sol ventrikül fonksiyon bozukluğu gerileyen hastamız Kounis sendromu olarak değerlendirildi. Acil servise göğüs ağrısı ve eşlik eden alerjik semptomlarla başvuran akut koroner sendrom şüphesi taşıyan her hasta alerjen ajana maruziyet açısından sorgulanmalıdır.
