Abstract:
A 26-year-old female patient with severe acute pancreatitis caused by Ascaris lumbricoides and consecutive acute renal failure is described. Acute pancreatitis is mostly caused by gallstones and acute or chronic alcohol ingestion. Ascariasis as an etiologic factor of acute pancreatitis does not occur very often except in the tropical and subtropical regions, where it is widely distributed. The goal of this case report was to worn the clinicians to pay attention to this, in our country rarely occurring cause of acute pancreatitis. In special circumstances of great migration of refugees and displaced persons with very low hygienic standards this rare possibility should be taken into account.

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.
