초록

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)는 호흡기계 뿐만 아니라 소화기계에도 감염을 일으킨다. 이중 SARS-CoV-2가 급성 췌장염을 일으키는 경우는 성인과 소아를 포함하여coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) 확진 환자의 약 0.16% 정도이다. COVID-19에 확진된 소아 환자에서의 급성 췌장염은 그 동안 소아다기관염증증후군이나 중증의 코로나 감염 환자에서 동반 질환으로 보고되는 게 대부분이며 단독으로 급성 췌장염만 일으키는 사례는 거의 없었다. 저자들은 SARS-CoV-2에 감염된 소아 환자에게서 단독으로 급성 췌장염이 발생한 예를 경험하였고 성공적으로 치료하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) mainly causes respiratory symptoms such as fever, cough, sputum, and rhinorrhea, as well as digestive symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain in children. In this report, we describe a case of a child with a SARS-CoV-2 infection who presented with epigastric pain and was subsequently diagnosed with acute pancreatitis without any concomitant infections in other organs. The epigastric pain was relieved with goal-directed vigorous fluid therapy for acute pancreatitis for 24 hours, and the serological and radiological findings normalized after two months. Acute pancreatitis should be considered as a differential diagnosis when a child with a history of COVID-19 visits the hospital with epigastric pain.
