Abstract:
: A case of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA)-induced pancreatitis in a 7-year-old girl with ulcerative colitis is described. Pancreatitis was first diagnosed after 7 months of treatment with 5-ASA by mouth. When she later received 5-ASA rectally, pancreatitis recurred after 2 weeks of treatment. She rapidly recovered after withdrawal of 5-ASA.

Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
