ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Ticagrelor as a P2Y12 receptor antagonist is recommended in patients with acute coronary syndrome without a primary cardiosurgical therapy. Severe relevant side effects, especially anaphylactic reactions, have not yet been described in the current literature. CASE PRESENTATION We describe the first documented case in the current literature with a severe anaphylaxis after ticagrelor in a 76-year-old male patient with ST-elevation myocardial infarction. The diagnosis seems to be objectivated by the observed time-related life-threatening event after repetitive administration of ticagrelor and the rapid stabilization after adequate anaphylactic treatment.CONCLUSION:
This case should raise the awareness that a supposedly safe drug can still cause an anaphylactic shock.
