RESUMEN
El nuevo virus del SARS-CoV-2 y su enfermedadCOVID-19 ha representado un desafío para los clínicos,afectando distintos órganos y sistemas. Aunque la gravedadde la infección viene determinada sobre todo por la apariciónde neumonía grave y dificultad respiratoria aguda, se handescrito otras afectaciones en distintos aparatos y sistemas,como la sintomatología gastrointestinal, pancreática y biliar. Elcompromiso pancreático está poco descrito, con escasos reportesen la literatura a nivel mundial, siendo registrado actualmenteen más de 20 países. En este documento, se presenta un casode pancreatitis aguda donde se destaca la nueva posibilidad deasociación al COVID-19. Se trata de paciente de 17 años, desexo femenino, con antecedente de un puerperio tardío, sinhaber tenido contacto con personas confirmadas o sospechosasde COVID-19, ni viajes al extranjero. En vista de la evolucióntórpida de la paciente, se realiza tomografía axial computarizadade abdomen y pelvis donde se reportan los siguientes hallazgosliquido peri pancreática, vesícula distendida con liquido perivesicular, liquido libre en fondo de saco e interesas. Al realizarlaparotomía exploradora se evidencia necrosis pancreática conlicuefacción en toda su extensión con esteato necrosis en epiplónmayor. Posterior al tratamiento, la paciente evolucionó afebril,con mejoría de la tolerancia oral, sin dolor abdominal, consintomatología respiratoria leve, sin requerir oxígeno en ningúnmomento, completando un total de 21 días de antibioticoterapiaempírica biasociada(AU)
ABSTRACT
e new SARS-CoV-2 virus and its diseaseCOVID-19 have posed a challenge to clinicians, affectingdifferent organs and systems. Although the severity of theinfection is mainly determined by the occurrence of severepneumonia and acute respiratory distress, other involvementin different organs and systems has been described, suchas gastrointestinal, pancreatic and biliary symptomatology.Pancreatic involvement is poorly described, with few reportsin the literature worldwide, being currently registered in morethan 20 countries. In this paper, a case of acute pancreatitisis presented, highlighting the new possibility of associationto COVID-19. e patient is 17 years old, female, with ahistory of a late puerperium, without having had contact withpeople confirmed or suspected of having COVID-19, or travel abroad. In view of the patient's torpid evolution, a computedaxial tomography of the abdomen and pelvis was performed,where the following findings were reported peri pancreaticfluid, distended gallbladder with peri vesicular fluid, free fluid inthe cul-de-sac and interstitium. On performing an exploratorylaparotomy, pancreatic necrosis with liquefaction in all itsextension with steato necrosis in the greater omentum wasevidenced. Aer treatment, the patient evolved afebrile, withimproved oral tolerance, without abdominal pain, with mildrespiratory symptoms, without requiring oxygen at any time,completing a total of 21 days of empirical antibiotic therapy(AU)
