ABSTRACT: 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.
