Abstract
The pathogenesis mechanism of Kounis syndrome is defined by mast-cell degranulation that has been amplified to induce acute myocardial infarction in susceptible individuals. Here, we report a case of Kounis syndrome presented with acute coronary syndrome after a tetanus vaccine. In addition, all possible other etiologies, especially ischemia, were excluded.
Özet
Patolojik mekanizması mast hücrelerinin degranülasyonuna bağlı hassas kişilerde görülen akut miyokardiyal enfarktüsü Kounis sendromu olarak tanımlanır. Biz burada tetanoz aşısı sonrası akut koroner sendrom ile başvuran bir Kounis sendromu bildirdik. Ek olarak, tüm olası sebepler özellikle de iskemi dışlandı.
