Multiple causes can join forc-es and trigger the development of this syndrome. We report the first case of Kounis syndrome manifesting as myocardial infarction with cardiovascular collapse that occurred in the dialysis room following an allergic reac-tion. The dialysis apparatus material of polyurethane, polyamide, polycarbonate, silicon rubber and polypro-pylene were incriminated causes. Physicians should be aware of the causality and existence of this disorder in order to achieve early and correct diagnosis and apply the appropriate therapeutic measures.展开更多
