Published: September 2024

Background: Omadacycline is a new generation of tetracycline antibiotics, and its clinical application is increasing. We report the first case of acute pancreatitis possibly induced by omadacycline.

Case Presentation: The patient was admitted to the emergency intensive care unit due to community-acquired pneumonia. The initial treatment consisted of meropenem combined with levofloxacin, and the regimen was subsequently switched to omadacycline combined with cefoperazone/sulbactam due to sputum culture showing carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. Seven days after the administration of omadacycline, abdominal tenderness occurred, and CT scan revealed an enlarged gallbladder with exudation from the pancreatic head. The patient was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis and improved after dis-continuing omadacycline.

Conclusions: Omadacycline, like other tetracycline antibiotics, may cause pancreatitis. Combination medications can be an important factor in this adverse reaction.

Aim: The current study aims to delineate subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), visceral adipose tissue (VAT), the sacrospinalis muscle, and all abdominal musculature at the L3-L5 vertebral level from non-contrast computed tomography (CT) imagery using deep learning algorithms. Subsequently, radiomic features are collected from these segmented images and subjected to medical interpretation.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective analysis includes a cohort of 315 patients diagnosed with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) who had undergone comprehensive whole-abdomen CT scans.
