    Abstract

    The occurrence of Acute coronary syndrome concomitantly with hypersensitivity reactions triggered by an allergic event was first described by Kounis and Zavrasin in 1991, called as Kounis Syndrome. Various mechanism have been explained and explored regarding the same. Here, we present a case series of 3 individuals who had no prior history of cardiac or allergic disease, presented with Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) following multiple wasp stings.
