ABSTRACT
Acute pancreatitis is seen in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) as a result of antiretroviral drug therapy and hypertriglyceridemia. Thrombotic complications are known in patients of HIV as a result of endothelial dysfunction, and right-sided infective endocarditis (IE) is seen in HIV patients mostly due to intravenous (IV) drug abuse. However, the occurrence of acute pancreatitis with sepsis, IE, and bilateral thromboembolism in the same patient is rare. Here, we report this case of a treatment-naive nondrug abuser HIV patient with acute pancreatitis in sepsis, IE, and bilateral pulmonary thromboembolism who recovered completely with treatment.
