“…He was not on any chemotherapeutic agents, which could have confounded the findings of pancreatitis, and he denied any alcohol consumption or any history of gallstones. Furthermore, some in vitro, in vivo, and case reports have correlated H1N1 influenza infection with an onset of diabetes postinfection due to the ability of the virus to replicated in pancreatic beta-cells [9][10][11][12].…”

Although most cases of acute pancreatitis are attributed to alcohol and gallstones, acute pancreatitis can be a presenting feature or complication of a viral etiology (influenza). We report a rare case of acute pancreatitis secondary to H1N1 influenza A virus in the setting of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The typical flu-like respiratory illness usually observed with influenza was absent preceding the episode of pancreatitis owing to the different antigenic properties of influenza A (compared to influenza B) and an underlying immunocompromised state.

Acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis following influenza infection: a case report

Background Acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis is a life-threatening condition leading to shock and multiorgan failure. Although prevalent in the general population, the incidence during pregnancy is low, with a high maternal and fetal mortality rate. The highest incidence is in the third trimester/early postpartum period. Infectious etiology for acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis is rare with only a handful of cases following influenza infection being documented in the literature. Case presentation A 29-year-old Sinhalese pregnant lady in the third trimester presented with an upper respiratory tract infection and abdominal pain, for which she was managed with oral antibiotics. An elective caesarean section was done at 37 weeks gestation due to a past section. On postoperative day 3 she developed a fever with difficulty in breathing. Despite treatment, she succumbed to death on the sixth postoperative day. The autopsy revealed extensive fat necrosis with saponification. The pancreas was necrosed and hemorrhagic. The lungs showed features of adult respiratory distress syndrome and necrosis was observed in the liver and kidneys. Polymerase chain reaction of lungs detected influenza A virus (subtype H3). Conclusion Although rare, acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis from an infectious etiology carries risk of morbidity and mortality. Therefore, a high level of clinical suspicion must be upheld among clinicians to minimize adverse outcomes.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common disease associated with a substantial medical and financial burden, and with an incidence across Europe ranging from 4.6 to 100 per 100,000 population. Although most cases of AP are caused by gallstones or alcohol abuse, several other causes may be responsible for acute inflammation of the pancreatic gland. Correctly diagnosing AP etiology is a crucial step in the diagnostic and therapeutic work-up of patients to prescribe the most appropriate therapy and to prevent recurrent attacks leading to the development of chronic pancreatitis. Despite the improvement of diagnostic technologies, and the availability of endoscopic ultrasound and sophisticated radiological imaging techniques, the etiology of AP remains unclear in ~ 10-30% of patients and is defined as idiopathic AP (IAP). The present review aims to describe all the conditions underlying an initially diagnosed IAP and the investigations to consider during diagnostic work-up in patients with non-alcoholic non-biliary pancreatitis.
