  • Title: Myocardial infarction in a 45-year-old man following an anaphylactic reaction to a wasp sting.
    Author: Valla M, Moulin F, Angioi M, Groben L, Sadoul N, Aliot E.
    Journal: Int J Cardiol; 2011 May 05; 148(3):e63-5. PubMed ID: 19423176.
    Abstract:
    We present the case of a 45-year-old man with clinical features of acute coronary syndrome with persistent ST segment elevation following an anaphylactic reaction to a wasp sting treated with adrenaline. A thrombolysis is performed with no effect on clinical signs, leading to an emergency cardiac catheterization which reveals a non-occlusive thrombosis of the right coronary artery. The pathophysiology and clinical implications of this association are discussed.
