Acute pancreatitis is considered to be an extremely rare extrahepatic manifestation of acute viral hepatitis E. The incidence is reported to be around 5%-6% in the available case series. It has usually been reported in non-fulminant cases of acute viral hepatitis E in the second or third week of illness, with a favourable outcome. Here, we report the case of a young male subject with acute viral hepatitis E presenting as acute pancreatitis at its onset and exhibiting a prolonged recovery phase. To the authors' knowledge, such a presentation of acute viral hepatitis E as acute pancreatitis at its inception has been only sparsely reported in the available literature.
急性胰腺炎被认为是急性戊型病毒性肝炎极为罕见的肝外表现。在现有病例系列报道中，其发病率约为5%-6%。通常见于急性戊型病毒性肝炎非暴发性病例病程的第二或第三周，预后良好。在此，我们报告一例年轻男性患者，其急性戊型病毒性肝炎起病时表现为急性胰腺炎，恢复阶段延长。据作者所知，现有文献中仅有少量关于急性戊型病毒性肝炎起病时以急性胰腺炎为表现的报道。
