“…In approximately one-third of cases none of these factors can be incriminated (Trapnell and Duncan, 1975). However, acute pancreatitis may occur occasionally in patients with evidence of other viral infections-for example, congenital rubella (Bunnell and Monif, 1972) and infectious mononucleosis (Myhre and Nesbitt, 1949;Wislocki, 1966;Everett et al, 1969). There may also be an association between infective hepatitis and pancreatitis, reflecting a possible common viral cause (Lisney, 1943;Joske, 1955;Achord, 1968;Gillespie, 1973;Ham and Fitzpatrick, 1973).…”

SUMMARY Viral studies were performed on sera from 54 patients with recent acute pancreatitis, 10 with recurrent acute pancreatitis, seven with chronic pancreatitis, and 10 with pancreatic carcinoma, and on sera from 81 age-and sex-matched controls. In 29 of the acute pancreatitis patients from whom paired sera were obtained no convincing evidence of recent viral infection was found. A higher incidence of raised antibody titres against Coxsackie B3 and B4 was observed in the group of acute pancreatitis patients compared with their controls. The possible significance of these observations and their relationship to the aetiology of the pancreatitis and to other immunological findings are discussed.

Infection-induced acute hepatitis complicated with acute pancreatitis is associated with hepatitis A virus, hepatitis B virus or hepatitis E virus. Although rare, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection should be considered also in the differential diagnosis if the patient has acute hepatitis combined with pancreatitis. We report a case of EBV infection with cholestatic hepatitis and pancreatitis with review of literature. An 11-year-old female was admitted due to 1-day history of abdominal pain and vomiting without any clinical symptoms of infectious mononucleosis. Diagnosis of reactivated EBV infection was made by the positive result of viral capsid antigen (VCA) IgM, VCA IgG, Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen and heterophile antibody test. We performed serologic tests and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography to exclude other viral or bacterial infection, autoimmune disorder, and structural problems. The patient's symptoms recovered rapidly and blood chemistry returned to normal with conservative treatment similar to previously reported cases.

“…Gall stones and the abuse of alcohol are thought to be common casual factors (Edlund, 1970;Lundh, 1970). Infectious agents are rarely responsible (Everett, 1969;Kunz, 1971), though mumps is a well known cause, sometimes leading Udverdty Hospital, S-221 85 Lund, Sweden BO URSING, M.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Infectious Diseases to diabetes mellitus (Melin and Ursing, 1958). Pappenheimer et al (1951) showed that injection of material from a patient with meningoencephalitis and pleurodynia damages the pancreas in mice.…”
