Dengue pancreatitis with ketoacidosis—a rare manifestation in Endemicity

Dengue may begin as a straightforward fever episode with or without rash also it may affect some organs and cause serious symptoms. Although it is uncommon, severe abdominal discomfort has been a concerning indicator of acute pancreatitis. We report on a male patient, age 26, who first presented with fever, vomiting, and stomach pain. Later, he developed severe pancreatitis. When an acute viral infection causes pancreatitis, ketoacidosis can occur without hyperglycemia. We emphasize that in dengue patients reporting stomach pain, it is important to rule out acute pancreatitis (AP), an uncommon but serious impediment in the course of treatment.
