  • Title: Kounis syndrome presenting as ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction following a hymenoptera (bee) sting.
    Author: Taggar JS, Watson T, Musarrat K, Millane T.
    Journal: Int J Cardiol; 2009 Aug 14; 136(2):e29-30. PubMed ID: 18649957.
    Abstract:
    We described a patient presenting with acute myocardial infarction after sustaining a hymenoptera (bee) sting. Cardiac catheterisation confirmed significant intra-coronary thrombosis in the left anterior descending artery with minimal underlying plaque disease. A unifying diagnosis of Kounis syndrome secondary to hymenoptera envenomation was made. This is followed by a brief review of the pathophysiology of acute myocardial infarction in the context of Kounis syndrome.
