Abstract
Kounis Syndrome is one of the consequences of allergic reactions that should be kept in mind as a frequent cause of emergency room visits. Marginal symptoms and ECG changes accompany this phenomenon. Eliminating exposure to the causative agent is the main treatment. In addition, a medications that will provide vasodilation of the coronary arteries and suppress the allergic reaction are also included in the treatment. With this case report, we aimed to draw attention to Kounis syndrome, which may be associated with a wide variety of clinical symptoms and may be overlooked, and to increase clinical awareness.

Abstract
Kounis Sendromu, acil servise sık başvuru sebeplerinden biri olan alerjik reaksiyonların mutlaka akılda tutulması gereken sonuçlarındandır. Hastada anjinal semptomlar ve EKG değişiklikleri bu olaya eşlik eder. Neden olan ajana maruziyeti ortadan kaldırmak esas tedavidir. Bunun dışında koroner arterlerin vazodilatasyonunu sağlayacak ve alerjik reaksiyonu baskılayacak ilaçlar da tedavide yer alır. Biz bu olgu ile çok çeşitli klinik semptomlarla birlikte görülebilen ve gözden kaçabilecek bir tanı olan Kounis sendromuna dikkat çekmeyi ve klinik farkındalığı arttırmayı amaçladık.
