Abstract

Acute pancreatitis is characterized as an inflammatory illness that is life‑threatening and causes necrosis as well as simple edema when pancreatic enzymes are activated intraglandularly. It is not known whether severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 causes acute pancreatitis. Patients with acute pancreatitis who test positive for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‑19) frequently have biliary or alcoholic causes. It is unclear how common acute pancreatitis is in patients with COVID‑19. By contrast with patients without COVID‑19, however, COVID‑19‑positive patients with acute pancreatitis have a higher mortality as well as a higher risk of necrosis and admission to an intensive care unit. The most common cause of mortality in COVID‑19‑positive individuals with concurrent severe pancreatitis is acute respiratory distress syndrome. The present study discussed research on the link between COVID‑19 infection and acute pancreatitis.
