Abstract

Novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has spread widely across the world inducing a global health crisis. Predominant signs of infection involve respiratory symptoms such as cough and dyspnea. Investigation into COVID-19 infection-associated gastrointestinal symptoms remains fluid. COVID-19-induced acute pancreatitis has been recorded from greater than 20 countries at this time. Herein, we submit a case of COVID-19-attributed acute pancreatitis, as well as a comprehensive assessment of previously reported cases of COVID-19-attributed acute pancreatitis.
