We report on a case of acute pancreatitis in a 9 year-old girl suffering from steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome. Acute abdominal pains revealed pancreatitis whose outcome was favorable after 5 days of total parenteral nutrition. None of the usual causes of pancreatitis was recognized. A serologic profile of hepatitis B, compatible with a chronic carriage of the virus B was found. The possible relationships between pancreatitis, viral hepatitis and the nephrotic syndrome are discussed.
