Abstract

We read with great interest recent scientific letters addressing abdominal aspects of COVID-19. Martín-Falquina IC et al. reported the thrombotic nature of acute pancreatitis (AP) in a patient with COVID-19 and likewise, our patient with AP was previously anticoagulated. The association in the medical literature between viral infections (such as those caused by the human immunodeficiency viruses, hepatitis C and influenza) and venous thromboembolism (VTE) has again become evident in the scientific community, both in 2017 during the epidemic of chicungunya and Zika, and more recently in the current COVID-19 pandemic.
