Cause or Coincidence : A Case of Necrotizing Pancreatitis in the Setting of Herpes Simplex Virus Infection
Copyright © 2023, Ebrahim et al..
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 gallstone-related, 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.
