Snake bites are a concerning health problem in Egypt and other tropical countries that are effectively managed with anti-snake venom (ASV). ASV has common reactive complications that are usually mild. Rarely, anaphylaxis and severe systemic reactions may occur following ASV. In this case report, we present a rare condition of Kounis syndrome, acute allergic myocardial infarction, in a young man during anaphylaxis following an allergic intradermal test of VACSERA snake antivenom.
在埃及和其他热带国家,蛇咬伤是一个令人担忧的健康问题,可通过抗蛇毒血清(ASV)进行有效治疗。ASV有常见的反应性并发症,通常较为轻微。ASV治疗后很少会发生过敏反应和严重的全身反应。在本病例报告中,我们介绍了一名年轻男性在接受VACSERA蛇毒抗血清过敏皮内试验后发生过敏反应时出现的一种罕见病症——库尼斯综合征,即急性过敏性心肌梗死。
