  • Title: Acute pancreatitis: induced by heroin intoxication?
    Author: Lankisch PG, Niederstadt H, Redlin-Kress E, Mahlke R, Brand A.
    Journal: Pancreas; 1993 Jan; 8(1):123-6. PubMed ID: 7678324.
    Abstract:
    Hyperamylasemia has been reported in heroin addicts and ascribed to an increase of salivary isoamylase. Ours is the first report on acute pancreatitis in a heroin user. All prognostic parameters indicating a severe course of the disease were present, and computed tomography showed an edematous pancreatitis, but the acute pancreatitis took a benign clinical course.
