Immune complexes in acute pancreatitis
Immune complexes were detected in the sera of ten of 22 patients with acute pancreatitis using a Clq deviation assay. Five of these were positive using a second technique. There was no correlation between immune complexes and clinical or aetiological features of the pancreatitis. Two patients with immune complexes developed a benign and transient pancreatic polyarthritis. Immune complexes may provide one common path in the sequence of pathogenic events that lead to pancreatitis.
