Systematic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem disease, including the gastrointestinal system in about half of SLE patients. As a rare complication of SLE, acute pancreatitis presents as generalized flare-ups in most cases of patients previously diagnosed with SLE. Here we report a rare case of acute pancreatitis as the initial presentation with later diagnosis of SLE.

Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura is a syndrome of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia accompanied by thrombocytopenia, neurological disorders, renal failure and fever. Acute pancreatitis is a rare cause of Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura and this manifestation, at the same time, is a rare complication of acute pancreatitis. Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura is induced in acute pancreatitis by poorly understood mechanism, which involves multiple pathways apart from only ADAMTS-13 deficiency. Here, we analyze the case of a 47-year-old female who presented with an acute pancreatitis. She was diagnosed with Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura and an acute pancreatitis at the same time, with thrombocytopenia and peripheral smear findings at presentation. Therefore, Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura secondary to the pancreatitis was considered in this case. In this work, we have discussed details of our case and the different mechanisms involved in pathogenesis of Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura in acute pancreatitis and their outcome with prompt management.

Acute pancreatitis is a well-known but rare complication of corticosteroid therapy in both children1-3 and adu1ts.4,5 In adults, respiratory insufficiency may follow the onset of acute pancreatitis.6-8 This report describes a child with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in whom acute respiratory distress developed after steroid-induced pancreatitis. CASE REPORT A 12-year-old girl with SLE in remission (maintenance therapy, 60 mg of prednisone on alternate days) was admitted to the University of California Los Angeles Hospital with a one-week history of fever, dysuria, facial rash, and joint pain. A urinary tract infection was detected and the patient was placed on a regimen of antibiotics.
