In April 2020, UK studies informed a condition in children similar to incomplete Kawasaki disease or toxic shock syndrome. From that time onwards, papers on children suffering from similar conditions have been published in different parts of the world. Today the disease is named multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) associated with Covid-19. Acute pancreatitis was reported mainly in adult patients with acute SARS-COV-2 infection developing direct cytopathic effect or immune-mediated and systemic inflammatory indirect cellular responses. However, there are only a few studies, which describe the acute pancreatitis case during MIS-C period. The present article describes the clinical presentation, therapy and evolution of a 9 years-old female patient developing an acute pancreatitis case suffering from MIS-C.
