Other symptoms may include excessive abdominal gas pain and distention and the pain maybe described as burning or stabbing; fever, sweating, hypertension, muscle aches and abnormal fatty stools.Chronic pancreatitis is a condition in which the inflammation has caused irreversible changes in the microscopic gallbladder tissue. Repeated episodes of gallbladder infection and gallstones are often involved.

Acute Pancreatitis Associated with Exenatide
2007-10-18 13:18:00 FDA has reviewed 30 postmarketing reports of acute pancreatitis in patients taking exenatide, a drug used to treat adults with type 2 diabetes. An association between Exenatide and acute pancreatitis is suspected in some of these cases. Healthcare professionals should be alert to the signs and symptoms of acute pancreatitis and instruct patients taking Exenatide to seek prompt medical care if they experience unexplained, persistent, severe abdominal pain which may or may not be accompanied by vomiting. If pancreatitis is suspected, Exenatide should be discontinued. If pancreatitis is confirmed, Exenatide should not be restarted unless an alternative etiology is identified.

Severe necrotizing pancreatitis following combined hepatitis a and b vaccin
2007-02-01 00:26:04 Related Articles Severe necrotizing pancreatitis following combined hepatitis A and B vaccination. CMAJ. 2007 Jan 30;176(3):339-42 Authors: Shlomovitz E, Davies W, Cairns E, Brintnell WC, Goldszmidt M, Dresser GK Necrotizing pancreatitis is a severe form of pancreatitis and is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. We report a case of necrotizing pancreatitis that developed following combined hepatitis A and B vaccination. No other causes of pancreatitis could be determined. Although confirming the diagnosis is challenging, 3 main factors suggest a possible link to the vaccine: the chronology of the events, the patient’s human leukocyte antigen genotype and the incongruent immune response to the vaccine components. This report serves to alert physicians to the possible development of necrotizing pancreatitis after vaccination. PMID: 17261831 [PubMed - in process] (Source: cmaj) More: continued here |
