Acute pancreatitis after azathioprine treatment for ulcerative colitis
Ital J Gastroenterol.
1996 Feb-Mar.
Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease, in addition to intestinal involvement, may be complicated also by other extra-intestinal manifestations. Moreover, drugs commonly employed in the treatment of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease may induce iatrogenic pancreatitis. Acute pancreatitis is described in two ulcerative colitis patients following azathioprine treatment.
