Acute coronary syndrome due to diclofenac-induced anaphylaxis: Type 1 Kounis syndrome

Abstract

Kounis syndrome is a potentially life-threatening medical emergency with both acute coronary syndrome and a severe allergic reaction which can occur even in patients with angiographically normal coronary arteries. In this report, we present a patient who developed acute coronary syndrome (type 1 Kounis syndrome) after diclofenac sodium intake.
