[Systemic inflammatory response syndrome associated with use of ticagrelor].

Ticagrelor is anantiplatelet agent which acts through reversible binding to the P2Y12 adenosine-diphosphate receptors. In acute coronary syndromes it has been shown to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction, stroke and death. Although some hemorrhagic, kidney, liver and respiratory complications have been described in detail with the use of ticagrelor, other less frequent adverse effects are not so well clarified. We report the case of a patient with a systemic inflammatory response syndrome secondary to the use of ticagrelor.
