Core Tip
Core tip: Acute pancreatitis associated with enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection is extremely rare. We here report a case of EV71-induced hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD) presenting with pancreatitis in a 2-year-old girl. This is the first case report of acute pancreatitis associated with EV71 infection. EV71 can cause acute pancreatitis in HFMD, which should be considered in differential diagnosis, especially in cases of idiopathic pancreatitis.
