Abstrakt: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection typically presents with respiratory symptoms, although presentation with gastrointestinal symptoms is not uncommon. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) presenting as acute pancreatitis is rare. There are several etiological factors for acute recurrent pancreatitis, but its association with COVID-19 disease is not yet known. We present an unusual case of recurrent attacks of acute pancreatitis in a young woman with SARS-CoV-2 infection, which was diagnosed early but had a rapid downhill course in the second attack with a fatal outcome.
