Abstract
Arı sokmalarına bağlı lokal ve sistemik reaksiyonlar görülebilmektedir. Arı sokması sonrası nadiren görülen alerjik akut miyokart enfarktüsü; Kounis sendromu olarak tanımlanmıştır. Burada arı sokması sonrası acil servise getirilen ve akut miyokart enfarktüsü tanısı alan elli-beş yaş bir erkek olgu sunulmuştur.
Acil servis hekimleri arı sokmasına bağlı gelişebilen Kounis sendromunu akılda tutmalı; göğüs ağrısı bulunan olgularda elektrokardiyografi çekmeli ve kardiyak enzim takibini mutlaka yapmalılardır.

Abstract
Local and systemic reactions due to bee stings can be seen. Allergic acute myocardial infarction which is rarely seen after bee sting is defined as Kounis syndrome. We reported a case of fifty-five year old male patient who was admitted to the emergency department after bee sting and diagnosed as acute myocardial infarction.
Emergency department physicians should keep in mind the Kounis syndrome which may develop due to bee sting; In patients with chest pain, electrocardiography should be performed and cardiac enzymes should be followed.
