Abstract

Kounis syndrome (KS) is characterized by con- current acute coronary syndrome and allergic reaction, in which acute inflammatory mediators cause spasm and/or erosion and rupture of coronary atheromatous plaque. In this report, we remind clinicians to consider KS in patients who are subjected to allergenic substances and demon- strate acute chest pain. A 36-year-old woman had chest pain, severe dyspnea, hypotension, and symmetrical nega- tive T waves on the anterior leads during electrocardiogra- phy approximately two hours after the use of clarithromycin. KS was considered as a possible diagnosis based on the presentation. Laboratory tests revealed an elevated level of troponin I, suggesting myocardial infarction, and an el- evated level of serum tryptase level, suggesting an allergic reaction. The patient promptly underwent coronary angi- ography, which revealed only plaques in all main coronary arteries without any obstructive lesion. To the best of our knowledge, we report herein the first case in the literature describing an association between clarithromycin and KS.

Özet

Kounis sendromu, alerjik reaksiyonla eş zamanlı olarak ortaya çıkan, enflamatuvar mediyatörlerin yol açtığı koroner spazmı veya aterom plağı çatlamasının neden olduğu akut koroner olayları tanımlamaktadır. Bu olgu sunumunda klinikçilere alerjik maddelere maruz kalıp akut göğüs ağrısı tanımlayan kişilerde bu sendromu hatırlatmak istedik. Akut sinüzit nedeniyle oral antibiyotik (klaritromisin) aldıktan iki saat sonra şiddetli retrosternal göğüs ağrısı ve ciddi nefes darlığı yakınmalarıyla başvuran 36 yaşında kadın hastada hipotansiyon ve elektrokardiyografide ön duvarı gören derivasyonlarda simetrik dalgası negatifliği saptandı. Serum troponin ve triptaz seviyeleri yüksek bulunan hastada olası tanı olarak Kounis sendromu düşünüldü. Koroner anjiyografide tıkayıcı olmayan koroner arter hastalığı tespit edildi. Bildiğimiz kadarıyla olgumuz, klaritromisin sonrası Kounis sendromu gelişen literatürdeki ilk vakadır. Bu yazıda, üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonu için oral klaritromisin kullanımı sonrası akut koroner sendrom gelişen bir olgu sunuldu.
