Resumo

A Síndrome de Kounis (SK) corresponde ao aparecimento simultâneo de síndromes coronárias agudas (SCA) com reações alérgicas ou de hipersensibilidade. Na literatura têm sido reportados vários casos associados a fármacos, picadas de inseto, alimentos, exposições ambientais e doenças médicas. Essa síndrome é encontrada na prática médica diária mais frequentemente do que antecipada. Por isso, o desconhecimento dessa síndrome poderá contribuir para a falha no diagnóstico. Apresentamos um caso clínico de Síndrome de Kounis secundária à ingestão de diclofenaco.

Abstract

Kounis Syndrome (KS) is the contemporary occurrence of Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) with an allergic or hypersensitivity reaction. This syndrome has been reported in association with a variety of drugs, food, insect stings, environmental exposures and medical conditions. Cases of KS seem to be more often encountered in everyday clinical practice than anticipated. It is believed that the lack of awareness of this association may lead to underreporting. We report a case of KS secondary to diclofenac intake.
