Se reporta dos casos de pancreatitis secundaria a la infección por citomegalovirus confi rmado por reacción en cadena de la polimerasa en tiempo real (PCR-RT) en pacientes portadores del virus de la inmunodefi - ciencia humana (VIH). Se descartaron otras causas mediante exámenes auxiliares. Ambos pacientes fueron tratados con ganciclovir y se obtuvo una mejoría tanto clínica como en los exámenes auxiliares. Esta patología no debe pasar desapercibida en pacientes VIH positivos a pesar de no presentar la característica clínica de pancreatitis agudaWe report two cases of pancreatitis secondary to cytomegalovirus infections which were tested by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in patients with human immunodefi ciency virus (HIV). Other causes were ruled out by laboratory fi ndings. Both patients were treated with ganciclovir and improved clinically and as indicated by laboratory fi ndings. This condition should not be ignored in HIV-positive patients in spite of the absence of the clinical characteristics of acute pancreatitis.
