Azathioprine Induced Normal Lipase Pancreatitis in a Case of Bullous Pemphigoid

Abstract

While numerous causes of pancreatitis have been documented, many of the causal associations have not been studied widely. Drug induced disorders include a wide variety of clinical symptoms varying from mild skin rash to severe life-threatening reactions. Pancreatitis is known to be associated with many drugs as well as immune mediated disorders. Drug induced pancreatitis is a type of acute event which shows classical evidence supporting an acute pancreatic inflammation and associated systemic features. Pancreatitis with normal blood work up is an interesting area still warranting proper pathophysiological mechanism involved. In this report we document a case who had two such drug induced events.
