  • Title: [Drug-induced pancreatitis].
    Author: Nguyen-Tang T, Negrin DS, Vonlaufen A, Frossard JL.
    Journal: Rev Med Suisse; 2007 Sep 05; 3(123):1942, 1944-7. PubMed ID: 17918489.
    Abstract:
    Drug-induced pancreatitis represents 2% of acute pancreatitis. The incidence is rising with more than 260 substances that have been incriminated so far. The important steps for the diagnosis are the exclusion of the other causes of acute pancreatitis, the chronology between the introduction of the drug, the appearance of the symptoms and the resolution of the complaints and the elevation of pancreatic enzymes after discontinuation of the treatment as well as the documentation in the literature of similar cases. The degree of the evidence is classified by the strength of the association (definite, probable and possible) and the number of reported cases. The prognosis is in most cases good, but rare cases of death have been reported.
