FEATURES OF COMORBIDITY BETWEEN COVID-19 AND CHRONIC PANCREATITIS

Ashurov F.Z. - Bukhara State Medical Institute named after Abu Ali ibn Sina

Resume

The pathogen responsible for COVID-19 exhibits a high tropism for angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors, which are abundantly expressed on acinar, ductal, and secretory cells of the pancreas. It is evident that this infection may influence the course of inflammatory processes in patients with chronic pancreatitis. Objective: To highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic considerations in the management of concomitant COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 infection) and chronic pancreatitis. This clinical observation describes a case of exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis in a 55-year-old male with a history of alcohol abuse, which was preceded by pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2.

Keywords: COVID-19, chronic pancreatitis, pleuritis
