Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS), a novel tick-borne disease caused by SFTS virus (SFTSV), has been reported in China, Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam since 2009. SFTSV infection can cause multiple organ damage, including acute pancreatitis (AP). We summarize the clinical features, treatment and outcome of AP associated with SFTSV.We retrospectively review the clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, treatment, and outcome of AP associated with SFTSV infection from January 2009 to December 2018 in Liaoning Province, China.A total of 418 SFTS patients were reviewed. Fifteen (3.6%) of 418 met the criteria for AP associated with SFTSV infection. The first reported symptom for all SFTS-AP patients was fever. All the SFTS-AP patients presented with thrombocytopenia, and 13 (86.7%) of them presented with leukopenia on admission. Thirteen (86.7%) of 15 SFTS-AP patients were severe SFTS patients, and 9 (60.0%) patients were diagnosed with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. One SFTS-AP patient died of multiple organ failure. Six (40%) of 15 SFTS-AP patients were not confirmed with SFTSV infection when AP was diagnosed, and the median delay between SFTSV infection and AP diagnosis was 5 days (range, 2-7 days).AP is not a frequent complication of SFTS, and is more frequently seen in severe SFTS patients. Most patients with SFTS-AP have mild or moderate disease, and can recover with conservative management; however, severe SFTS-AP can be fatal. In SFTS endemic areas, clinicians should be alert to the possibility of SFTS when AP patients with tick exposure, thrombocytopenia, and leukopenia have a fever before abdominal pain.
