Abstract
The Coronavirus Pandemic began in China in December 2019. In a short time, this pandemic spread globally. World has been challenged by SARS COV-2, a new virus causing pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. There is lack of literature implicating COVID-19 in Pancreatitis, yet virus is generally understood to be a cause of pancreatitis in children. We present a case of previously well 12-year-old girl who presented to emergency department with a chief complain of abdominal pain, anorexia and bilious vomiting. She was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis with an abnormal lipase, ultrasound and computed tomography and was found to be COVID-19 positive by polymerase chain reaction. Our case suggest that in current pandemic, consideration for SARS COV2 testing in children with gastrointestinal symptoms and pancreatitis may be considered. Additionally, this case highlights the need for appropriate personal protective equipment for providers, even when COVID is not initially on the differential.
