[Acute pancreatitis after treatment by celecoxib].

Drug-induced pancreatitis injury due to celecoxib, a first generation Cox-2 inhibitor, has been rarely reported. We describe one case of severe pancreatitis after treatment with celecoxib for 3 months in a woman. No aetiology has been found for pancreatitis.

Incidence and severity of non alcoholic and non biliary pancreatitis in a gastroenterology department.

Aims: Etiological investigations proposed for patients with acute pancreatitis have been evolving considerably these past few years, significantly limiting the number of cases labeled idiopathic. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of non alcoholic non biliary pancreatitis and identify causes, comparing severity by etiology.

Patient And Methods: This retrospective analysis included 108 patients managed from October 1996 to April 2005.
