Acute pancreatitis associated with acute viral hepatitis: case report and review of literature
Keywords:
Acute viral hepatitis, Hepatitis A virus, Acute pancreatitis, Hepatitis complicationsAbstract
This case report, along with the review presented, describes a patient diagnosed with acute viral hepatitis, who developed a framework of intense abdominal pain and laboratorial alterations compatible with acute pancreatitis. The association of acute pancreatitis complicating fulminant and non-fulminant acute hepatitis virus (AHV) has been reported and several mechanisms have been proposed for this complication, but so far none is clearly involved. As acute hepatitis is a common disease, it is important to stimulate the development of other studies in order to determine local incidence and profile of patients presenting this association in our environment.Downloads
