“…However, these cases involve individuals with significant additional comorbidities, such as allergic granulomatous angiitis, invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, and HIV infection. The third report describes a case of acute idiopathic pancreatitis where HSV was isolated from the stomach contents, yet no seroconversion occurred [ 10 ]. The last case report simulates this presentation through which a patient without any comorbidities has a high possibility of acute pancreatitis induced by HSV.…”

This study explores a rare occurrence of acute pancreatitis induced by herpes simplex virus (HSV) in an immunocompetent adult. The patient, initially diagnosed with pancreatitis presumed to be gallstonerelated, exhibited persistent symptoms and elevated lipase levels. Endoscopic ultrasound revealed necrotizing pancreatitis without stones, prompting suspicion of an atypical cause. Subsequent serology confirmed acute HSV infection. This case underscores the importance of considering viral etiologies in atypical pancreatitis cases, especially when hepatitis coexists. The study contributes to the limited literature on HSV-induced pancreatitis in immunocompetent individuals, emphasizing the significance of early recognition and appropriate management in the absence of typical risk factors.

Although a wide variety of infectious agents have been implicated in the aetiology of acute pancreatitis, their true incidence is unknown because they coexist quite often with other noninfectious causes. Acute herpes simplex viral pancreatitis is a rarely encountered entity in the literature. We report a patient who developed acute pancreatitis and hepatitis in association with herpes simplex virus infection as well as cholestatic syndrome because of compression of the intrapancreatic part of the common bile duct by the oedematous pancreatic head. Herpes simplex virus infection, although a rare entity, should be included in the conditions causing acute pancreatitis, when common noninfectious factors have been excluded and hepatic inflammation coexists. Diagnostically, a combination of serum amylase or lipase elevation, more than three times over the upper normal limits, as well as serologic evidence of the infectious agent should exist. Dilatation of the biliary tree is not invariably compatible with a biliary cause of acute pancreatitis.
