Acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction associated with diclofenac-induced anaphylaxis: case report.
A patient in whom acute myocardial infarction developed during diclofenac-induced anaphylaxis is described. ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is a rare complication of anaphylactic reactions, but can occur even in patients with angiographically normal coronary arteries. ⋯ To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of Kounis syndrome due to diclofenac. The patient's recovery was uneventful.
