Popis: Drugs are commonly considered a rare cause of acute pancreatitis but there are an increasing number of reports of numerous medications that seem to be involved in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis with different degrees of causative relationship to the disease (definite--probable--possible). The number of drugs that have been associated to date with acute pancreatitis exceeds 260. The authors report here on their personal series of four cases of drug-induced acute pancreatitis (warfarin, lysinopril/hydrochlorothiazide, lamivudine/stavudine/indinavir, valproic acid), focusing on a number of epidemiological and clinical aspects.
