Abstract :
Kounis syndrome is an allergy-associated acute coronary
syndrome, which develops secondary to mast cell activation in

In this case report, an extraordinary case of Kounis syndrome (acute myocardial infarction with concomitant allergic reaction to paracetamol/propyphenazone) has been
presented.
