Anaphylaxis from Wasp Stings Inducing Coronary Thrombus

الملخص EN

Myocardial infarction as a result of wasp stings is a rare manifestation of acute coronary syndromes.

It has been ascribed to kounis syndrome or allergic angina whose triggers include mast cell degranulation leading to coronary vasospasm and/or local plaque destabilisation.

Its exact pathophysiology is still not clearly defined.

We present a case of an acute coronary syndrome as a consequence of wasp stings and discuss its possible aetiology.
