  • Title: Coxsackievirus infection associated with acute pancreatitis.
    Author: Chrysos G, Kokkoris S, Protopsaltis J, Korantzopoulos P, Giannoulis G.
    Journal: JOP; 2004 Sep 10; 5(5):384-7. PubMed ID: 15365208.
    Abstract:
    CONTEXT: A variety of infectious agents have been reported as rare causes of acute pancreatitis. CASE REPORT: We briefly describe a 36-year-old man who presented with acute pancreatitis and a maculopapular rash. The marked elevation in antibody titer against coxsackievirus B, as well as the skin biopsy, was compatible with acute coxsackievirus B viral infection. CONCLUSION: This case highlights the fact that an appropriate investigation for viral infections should be performed in patients having acute pancreatitis and no classical risk factors.
