We present a case of acute pancreatitis associated with leptospirosis. An 88year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with high fever and severe myalgia of the lower extremities. Based on the clinical presentation, hepatic dysfunction with a mild increase in bilirubin, renal dysfunction, and life history, the possibility of leptospirosis was considered. Plain computed tomography of the trunk on admission revealed no special findings. Appropriate antimicrobial therapy was administered at an early stage. After treatment initiation, the clinical symptoms and blood test abnormalities began to improve, and the patient appeared to be doing well. Although no abdominal or back pain was consistently noted during hospitalization, the serum amylase level increased over time; therefore, the patient underwent another computed tomography scan on the ninth day. Acute pancreatitis, which was absent upon admission, was noted. Appropriate treatment for pancreatitis was administered, and the patient was discharged. A subsequent serum antibody test confirmed the diagnosis of leptospirosis. Herein, we also summarized previous cases of acute pancreatitis associated with leptospirosis. The time of onset for pancreatitis was inconsistent, and there were a few cases of pancreatitis without abdominal or back pain. In contrast, serum amylase or lipase levels were elevated in all patients, which could be an important trigger for suspected complications of pancreatitis. When leptospirosis is suspected, complications of pancreatitis should always be considered, even in the absence of apparent abdominal pain. Regular monitoring of pancreatic enzymes such as amylase and lipase is recommended. 收起
