Jf. Delrosario et al., CHRONIC-PANCREATITIS IN A PATIENT WITH CYSTIC-FIBROSIS AND CLINICAL PANCREATIC INSUFFICIENCY, The Journal of pediatrics, 126(6), 1995, pp. 951-952
Pancreatitis occurs in up to 15% of patients with cystic fibrosis and
pancreatic sufficiency, but the possibility of its occurrence in patie
nts with pancreatic insufficiency has not been recognized. We describe
a patient with homozygous Delta F508 cystic fibrosis and typical symp
toms of pancreatic insufficiency (greasy, fatty stools) in whom pancre
atitis developed.
