Remdesivir-Associated Pancreatitis.

ABSTRACT: We report a case of acute pancreatitis that developed after four days of remdesivir therapy in a patient being treated for COVID-19. Despite improvement in patient's respiratory status, abdominal pain worsened and clinical signs and symptoms progressed to a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis 4 days after initiation of remdesivir therapy. Withdrawal of remdesivir paired with medical management of acute pancreatitis led to the resolution of pancreatitis within three days. To our knowledge, this is the first case report depicting remdesivir as a possible cause of acute pancreatitis.
