We report this rare case of a 27-year-old man who presented with acute hepatitis E and went on to develop acute epigastric pain. He was diagnosed to have acute severe pancreatitis with shock and acute renal failure due to hepatitis E. Such a phenomenon has rarely been reported in the literature, with patients following a benign course and complete recovery after conservative management and analgesia. Awareness of this potentially life-threatening complication, especially in young men from endemic areas with acute hepatitis E presenting with abdomen pain has been highlighted.
我们报告了这例罕见病例,一名27岁男性,最初表现为急性戊型肝炎,随后出现急性上腹部疼痛。他被诊断为急性重症胰腺炎,伴有休克和因戊型肝炎导致的急性肾衰竭。这种现象在文献中鲜有报道,患者经保守治疗和镇痛后病情呈良性发展并完全康复。本文强调了对这种潜在危及生命的并发症的认识,尤其是在戊型肝炎流行地区出现腹痛的年轻男性患者中。
