Abstract
Covid 19 is an emerging infectious disease, responsible for severe acute respiratory syndrome. It has an essentially respiratory tropism, but this does not prevent it from causing a series of complications affecting several organs. Acute pancreatitis is an acute inflammation of the pancreas caused mainly by bile duct obstruction and alcohol abuse. In this work, we report a rare and unusual complication of this virus affecting the pancreas in a 38-year-old woman who developed acute pancreatitis associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. We would also discuss the causal link between SARS-CoV-2 and acute pancreatitis, as well as their different diagnostic, epidemiological and therapeutic aspects.
