Kounis syndrome is one of the rare variants of acute coronary syndrome that occurs as a result of an allergic reaction. Its main pathophysiological mechanism is coronary vasospasm. Clinically, Kounis syndrome is manifested by symptoms of both an allergic reaction and an acute coronary syndrome, and its treatment is not an easy task, since both cardiac and allergic manifestations must be treated at the same time. In the given article we describe a clinical case of diagnosis and successful treatment of Kounis syndrome caused by cold urticaria in a 58-year-old patient who was hospitalized to the Grodno Regional Clinical Cardiology Center.
