Acute pancreatitis in children and rotavirus infection. Description of a case and minireview

2012

In this article, we describe a case of acute pancreatitis occurred on a 2-year-old boy following rotavirus gastroenteritis. Its characteristics are analyzed and contextualized among those of other 4 cases of pancreatitis associated with rotavirus infection found through a systematic review of the international literature. None of the five children underwent surgery or was referred to an intensive care unit and all the 5 children cured with normalization of pancreatic enzyme within 5-10 days. The pathogenesis of this rare complication remains to be cleared, and its actual incidence may be higher than that reported. Although acute pancreatitis associated with rotavirus gastroenteritis seems t…

A Misunderstood intestinal perforation believed acute pancreatitis: A case report

2015

Acute pancreatitis represents one, possible but rare, of the several complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In the case reported, a 31-year-old female patient complained of abdominal pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The clinical picture, the high values of serum amylase, lipase and white blood cell count and the subsequent abdominal computed tomography (CT) led to diagnose an acute biliary pancreatitis. This was pharmacologically treated, but the patient worsened in a few days. A contrastenhanced CT showed the presence of free air and effusion into the peritoneal cavity. The patient was submitted to another intervention, which revealed a 1-cm jejunal perforation. The injured…

Identification and diagnosis of patients with familial chylomicronaemia syndrome (FCS): Expert panel recommendations and proposal of an "FCS score".

2018

Familial chylomicronaemia syndrome (FCS) is a rare, inherited disorder characterised by impaired clearance of triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins from plasma, leading to severe hypertriglyceridaemia (HTG) and a markedly increased risk of acute pancreatitis. It is due to the lack of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) function, resulting from recessive loss of function mutations in the genes coding LPL or its modulators. A large overlap in the phenotype between FCS and multifactorial chylomicronaemia syndrome (MCS) contributes to the inconsistency in how patients are diagnosed and managed worldwide, whereas the incidence of acute hypertriglyceridaemic pancreatitis is more frequent in FCS. A panel of Eu…

Type 2 Diabetes as a Factor Modifying the Course and Prognosis of Acute Pancreatitis

2022

Acute pancreatitis (AP) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are diseases with steadily increasing incidence. On the one hand, the presence of diabetes increases the risk of AP development; on the other hand, there is a question whether the presence of T2D adversely affects the course and prognosis of AP. In this study we attempted to demonstrate the adverse effect of T2D on the course and prognosis of AP. Materials and methods:The retrospective study analyzed the data of 333 patients with the diagnosis of AP in the Internal Medicine Department of the University Hospital in Opole between 2015 and 2019. The patients were divided into two groups: with T2D and without T2D. The comparative analysis includ…

Aknu steatozes saistība ar hroniska pankreatīta gaitu

2019

Ievads. Hronisks pankreatīts ir hroniska iekaisīga aizkuņģa dziedzera slimība, kas var novest līdz eksokrīnai un endokrīnai mazspējai. Literatūrā ir atrodami maz dati par aknu steatozes prevalenci hroniska pankreatīta pacientu vidū, lai gan abām šīm slimībām ir kopīgi etioloģiskie faktori. Darba mērķis. Analizēt aknu steatozes prevalenci HP slimniekiem un novērtēt aknu steatozes asociāciju ar HP smaguma pakāpi un komplikācijām. Metodes un materiāli. Pētījums bija retrospektīvs šķērsgriezuma pētījums. Tajā tika iekļauti pacienti no PSKUS Gastroenteroloģijas, hepatoloģijas un uztura terapijas centra, laika periodā no 2016. gada līdz 2019. gadam. Tika apkopoti tādi klīniskie parametri kā demog…

Smoking as a cofactor for causation of chronic pancreatitis: a meta-analysis.

2010

Objectives To assess the evidence for tobacco smoking as a risk factor for the causation of chronic pancreatitis. Methods We performed a meta-analysis with random-effects models to estimate pooled relative risks (RRs) of chronic pancreatitis for current, former, and ever smokers, in comparison to never smokers. We also performed dose-response, heterogeneity, publication bias, and sensitivity analyses. Results Ten case-control studies and 2 cohort studies that evaluated, overall, 1705 patients with chronic pancreatitis satisfied the inclusion criteria. When contrasted to never smokers, the pooled risk estimates for current smokers was 2.8 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.8-4.2) overall and 2…
