RESUMO
La pancreatitis aguda (PA) es una enfermedad inflamatoria del páncreas caracterizada por dolor abdominal y niveles elevados de enzimas pancreáticas. Representa la enfermedad pancreática más común de niños y adultos. Para el diagnóstico, se requieren 2 de los siguientes 3 criterios: dolor abdominal característico de PA, valores séricos de amilasa y/o lipasa 3 veces mayores que el límite superior normal y hallazgos característicos en las imágenes. Múltiples etiologías se han asociado: traumatismos, enfermedades metabólicas e infecciones (mixovirus, VIH, parotiditis, coxsackie, hepatitis B, A, citomegalovirus, varicela, herpes simple). Existen solo 3 casos reportados de PA asociados al virus de la influenza H1N1, solo uno en un niño y de características no complicadas.
Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas, characterized by abdominal pain and high level of pancreatic enzymes. Pancreatitis is the most common disease of pancreas in children and adults. For the diagnosis we need 2 of 3 characteristics: abdominal pain characteristic of acute pancreatitis, amylase and/or lipase 3 times higher than the normal upper limit and characteristic findings in images. The etiologies are multiple: trauma, metabolic disease and infections: mixovirus, HIV, measles, coxsackie, hepatitis B, C, cytomegalovirus, varicella, herpes simplex. Three cases of PA associated with H1N1 Influenza virus were reported, only one in a child with uncomplicated features.
