“…The patient was treated successfully with ceftriaxone, doxycycline, antiemetics, intravenous fluids, antipyretics, opioids, and proton pump inhibitors and ultimately made a full recovery. This was in contrast to cases reported by Simadibrata et al and Kumar et al where the patients had developed severe dengue hemorrhagic fever with acute pancreatitis [11,12]. Both these case reports showed complete recovery with the help of conservative management for acute pancreatitis, which was also followed in our case.…”

Dengue has emerged as an alarming concern exhausting the already tired healthcare professionals during the ongoing pandemic of COVID-19. There has been an epidemic of dengue fever with massive underreporting; this might be a result of limited resources as well as the inability to reach healthcare facilities as a consequence of reluctance seen in patients due to the scare of COVID-19. Acute pain in the abdomen has been an alarming sign of dengue; however, its association with acute pancreatitis is rare. We report a case of a 21-year-old young male with fever, vomiting, and pain in the abdomen who was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis as a complication of dengue infection. We highlight the importance of screening for acute pancreatitis in patients with dengue presenting with pain in the abdomen as it may be a rare but important complication of dengue fever.

“…However, there can be multiple contributory factors responsible for anemia in WOPN or acute necrotizing pancreatitis. These factors include bleeding pseudoaneurysms [ 10 ], hemorrhagic gastritis [ 11 ], co-existing hemolytic anemia, malarial or dengue fever [ 12 ], nutritional anemia, and sepsis [ 10 ]. Hence, appropriate evaluation and timely treatment is important in the prevention and treatment of anemia in such complicated cases.…”

Acute pancreatitis is a common clinical disorder of the pancreas that can present with walled-abdominal pain and vomiting. We report a case of a 45-year-old man with alcohol-related acute pancreatitis who developed a large walled-off pancreatic necrosis. Incidentally, the patient had a small gastrointestinal stromal tumor in the adjoining wall of the stomach that was missed on preoperative radiological imaging. A small submucosal lesion was detected during cystogastrostomy and was excised. The diagnosis of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor was confirmed on histopathology.

Acute pancreatitis following viral infection is rare in children. Acute pancreatitis complicating viral infections has been described in the form of isolated case reports and small series. The commonly implicated viral infections have been coxsackie virus, hepatitis viruses, mumps, varicella, herpes simplex and cytomegalovirus. However, the etio- pathogenesis of pancreatitis in viral infections remains unclear. Also, the natural history of such pancreatitis has not been adequately studied. Here we present a case of acute pancreatitis following dengue infection.
