Acute pancreatitis revealing a SARS-COV-2 infection: about one case

Abstract

We report the case of a 13-year-old male patient with metabolic syndrome, admitted with diabetic ketoacidosis revealing acute non-biliary pancreatitis. He developed severe systemic inflammatory response syndrome requiring transfer to intensive care. Two weeks later, he was readmitted for incoercible vomiting, epigastralgia and dyspnea in a feverish context, with a close contact with a confirmed SARS-COV-2 case. The diagnosis of acute non-biliary pancreatitis secondary to SARS-COV-2 infection was made.
