Article Synopsis
- - The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, led to a severe increase in illness and death rates in 2020, with respiratory symptoms being the most common among patients, but gastrointestinal symptoms also became important.
- - Research has shown that SARS-CoV-2 can affect the pancreas, suggesting that COVID-19 may lead to conditions like acute pancreatitis in some patients.
- - A reported case involves a patient who, after being diagnosed with COVID-19, developed acute pancreatitis and later a pancreatic pseudocyst, which was treated successfully; this case represents only the second documented instance of such complications linked to COVID-19.
