Abstract
A multisystem inflammatory syndrome among children (MIS-C) has been linked to COVID-19, and it affects multiple organ systems in the body, including the gastrointestinal system. In present case report, a 14-year-old girl presented with clinico-laboratory and imaging evidence of acute pancreatitis but did not respond to the standard line of management for pancreatitis. Later, the laboratory investigations pointed to the diagnosis of MIS-C. She responded well to a pulse doses of methylprednisolone therapy. Acute pancreatitis as a lone manifestation of MIS-C poses a diagnostic challenge for paediatricians, and one should suspect MIS-C in acute non-responding pancreatitis.
