Core Tip Kounis syndrome is an acute coronary syndrome caused by an allergic reaction. However, Kounis syndrome is a rare cause of acute myocardial infarction. We describe one of these rare cases in which the patient’s troponin I levels were elevated and electrocardiogram showed ST-segment elevation. After a course of hydrocortisone and antihistamines, the patient’s chest pain was resolved.
