title: Kounis syndrome: acute inferior myocardial infarction with atroventricular node block due to ceftriaxone: a first reported case.
abstract: Cefriaxone is a third-generation cephalosporin that might rarely cause a severe allergic reaction. Acute cardiac emergencies are quite rare in the setting of drug allergies. Here, we report the first case of myocardial infarction and AV-block after intravenous cefriaxone administration.
