Kounis Syndrome as First Manifestation of Allergic Sensitization by D. Forlani, G. Scarano, A. D’Alleva, M. Di Marco, L. Paloscia, A. Gatta, L. Della Valle, A. Farinelli, A. Lumaca, C. Petrarca, R. Paganelli, L. Di Giampaolo, M. Di Gioacchino

“…No signs of an allergic reaction were observed in Case 3, but only the history of a wasp sting suggested its relationship to loss of consciousness and heart ischemia when hypersensitivity to venom was ascertained. These cases strongly recommend measurement of anaphylactic biomarkers, such as tryptase, during acute coronary syndromes to detect the possible involvement of an allergic reaction. …”
