Abstract

Since the appearance of the first cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV 2), the challenge arises to understand its wide clinical spectrum of symptoms and sequelae, being a priority for the health system. The most common symptoms are fever, cough, myalgia, and shortness of breath. However, it has been described that SARS-CoV 2 can present with gastrointestinal symptoms. These include hyporexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, increased transaminases, and pancreatitis. We present a series of 3 cases of acute pancreatitis due to COVID-19 in pediatric patients.
