Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Viral Hepatitis

Background:

  • Acute pancreatitis is a serious condition with various potential causes.
  • Acute viral hepatitis A is a common infectious disease, typically self-limiting.
  • The co-occurrence of acute pancreatitis and acute viral hepatitis A is considered rare in medical literature.

Observation:

  • A case report detailing a young female patient presenting with symptoms suggestive of acute pancreatitis.
  • The patient was diagnosed with acute viral hepatitis A.
  • Diagnostic investigations were performed to rule out other common causes of pancreatitis.

Findings:

  • The patient exhibited clinical signs and biochemical markers consistent with acute pancreatitis.
  • Serological tests confirmed the presence of IgM anti-hepatitis A virus (anti-HAV) antibodies.
  • Other potential etiologies for acute pancreatitis, such as gallstones, alcohol use, and hypertriglyceridemia, were excluded.

Implications:

  • This case underscores that acute viral hepatitis A, though uncommon, can be an etiological factor in acute pancreatitis.
  • Highlights the importance of considering viral hepatitis as a differential diagnosis in cases of acute pancreatitis, especially in young patients.
  • Contributes to the understanding of the extrahepatic manifestations of hepatitis A virus infection.
