Acute myocardial infarction during streptokinase therapy.
Publication/Presentation Date

Abstract
A 45-year-old man developed sequential inferolateral and anterior myocardial infarctions within 10 hours of a possible allergic reaction to oral penicillin. The anterior myocardial infarction occurred during apparently successful streptokinase therapy for the initial inferolateral infarction. Subsequent coronary arteriography confirmed a subtotal stenosis of the left circumflex coronary artery and a complete thrombotic occlusion of the left anterior descending artery. This case documents the occurrence of three rare clinical phenomena; first, the occurrence of sequential acute myocardial infarctions in close temporal proximity; second, the occurrence of myocardial infarction during thrombolytic therapy; and third, the association of myocardial infarction with a possible allergic reaction.
