Coxsackievirus infection associated with acute pancreatitis.

چکیده
CONTEXT A variety of infectious agents have been reported as rare causes of acute pancreatitis. CASE REPORT We briefly describe a 36-year-old man who presented with acute pancreatitis and a maculopapular rash. The marked elevation in antibody titer against coxsackievirus B, as well as the skin biopsy, was compatible with acute coxsackievirus B viral infection. CONCLUSION This case highlights the fact that an appropriate investigation for viral infections should be performed in patients having acute pancreatitis and no classical risk factors.

Increased gelatinase B/matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) activity in a murine model of acute coxsackievirus B4-induced pancreatitis.
Infection of mice with coxsackievirus B4 results within days in a severe acute necrotizing pancreatitis, which resolves completely within weeks. Gelatinase B or matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) has previously been shown to be involved in several models of pancreatitis, but its role in virus-induced pancreatitis has never been investigated. We here report that MMP-9 levels are markedly increas...
متن کاملCoxsackieviruses and pancreatitis.
While alcohol abuse and biliary disease can result in the development of pancreatitis, the factors that contribute to the idiopathic form of the disease are not well understood. I propose that coxsackievirus infections account for a subset of cases of pancreatitis of unknown etiology. Evidence to support this concept is derived from serological studies, case reports and animal models. In review...
متن کاملAcute pancreatitis and serological evidence of infection with Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
Paired acute and convalescent serum samples from 27 consecutive patients with acute pancreatitis were examined for evidence of infection with several viral agents. Evidence of infection with Coxsackie viruses group B was found in three patients, and of infection with Mycoplasma pneumoniae in nine patients (33%). This latter finding confirms recent reports from Scandinavia linking pancreatitis a...
متن کاملAcute pancreatitis in hand, foot and mouth disease caused by Coxsackievirus A16: case report
Coxsackievirus A16 (CA16), which primarily causes hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), is associated with complications, such as encephalitis, acute flaccid paralysis, myocarditis, pericarditis, and shock. However, no case of pancreatitis associated with CA16 has been reported in children. We report a case of CA16-associated acute pancreatitis in a 3-year-old girl with HFMD. She was admitted b...
متن کاملIdentification of the interaction of VP1 with GM130 which may implicate in the pathogenesis of CVB3-induced acute pancreatitis
Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) is a causative agent of viral myocarditis, pancreatitis, and meningitis in humans. Although the susceptibility of CVB3-induced acute pancreatitis is age-dependent, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here we identified the host factor Golgi matrix protein 130 (GM130) as a novel target of CVB3 during CVB3-induced acute pancreatitis. The viral protein VP1 interacted...
