| Abstract |
| Abstract A 39-year-old woman with systemic lupus
erythematosus (SLE) developed severe acute pancreatitis during a
well-controlled disease stage. Treatment with intraarterial injections
of antipancreatic enzyme and a small amount of prednisone (20 mg/day)
led to remission of the pancreatitis. Disease activity of the SLE
did not flare up throughout the course of this treatment. The development
of severe acute pancreatitis in SLE is rare. We discuss the cause
of pancreatitis in SLE, and whether corticosteroids may induce or
improve pancreatitis. |
