“…Till now, only a few cases of herpes zoster-associated acute pancreatitis have been reported; among them, most involve immunocompromised individuals, such as those in intensive care, AIDS patients, or receiving long-term immunosuppression, such as recipients of stem cell, renal or liver transplants [5][6][7][8][9]. There were only a handful of studies which reported acute pancreatitis associated with VZV in children with chickenpox and one study reported an elderly patient with herpes zoster suffering from systemic complications, including pancreatitis and encephalitis [10][11][12]13].…”

“…Between January 2001 and December 2004, Bateman et al reported 5 children who received bone marrow transplant and developed acute pancreatitis, with 4 of them also having adenoviral infections [29]. Concerning organ transplantation, acute pancreatitis developed in a child with cystic fibrosis and Candida albicans infection post-lung transplantation [31] in a child 12 days after liver transplantation in 2002 [26], in 26 children between January 1986 and December 1999 also after liver transplantation [27], and in a 5-year-old girl after renal transplantation [30].…”

A scoping review on acute gastrointestinal surgical complications in immunocompromised pediatric patients

Background Gastrointestinal complications are becoming increasingly more common and pose a significant risk on the health of children with compromised immunity caused by various etiologies such as chemotherapy and posttransplantation immunosuppression. We aim to review abdominal complications in immunocompromised children and their respective management. Main body This is a scoping review of the literature. PubMed, MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and Scopus libraries were searched for relevant articles. Extracted data included the etiologies of immunocompromised immunity, gastrointestinal and abdominal complications in immunocompromised children, diagnosis, and treatment of these pathologies. Examples of gastrointestinal complications in immunocompromised children include, but not limited to, neutropenic enterocolitis, acute appendicitis, bowel perforation, acalculous cholecystitis, and acute pancreatitis. Our literature review showed that bacterial and fungal infections are the major causes of exacerbation and mortality. The main cause of immunosuppression in children with neutropenic enterocolitis and acute pancreatitis is chemotherapy, and management of these pathologies using intravenous fluids, antibiotic therapy, and granulocyte-stimulating factors is the current standard of care. Surgical intervention is uncommon and reserved for complicated cases. That said, in acute appendicitis and bowel perforation, laparoscopy is the mainstay treatment. However, in systemic infections, nonsurgical interventions such as transfusion and bowel rest are the gold standard. As for acalculous cholecystitis, percutaneous cholecystectomy is superior to laparotomy and other surgical interventions. Conclusion Timely diagnosis and management of gastrointestinal complications in the immunocompromised children is key in reducing mortality and morbidity. Both surgical and nonsurgical interventions are needed and should be further studied in order to improve outcomes.

Etiology of acute pancreatitis

2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

AbstractAcute pancreatitis is a common disease with a benign course in the majority of patients, but it is associated with serious morbidity, and mortality close to 20% in up to 20% of cases. The incidence of acute pancreatitis seems to be rising in western countries. About 75% of all cases are caused by gallstones or alcoholism. The relative rate of gallstones versus alcohol as etiology depends on the age and the area of enrolment. A thorough evaluation allows cause identification in another 10% of cases, leaving about 15–20% as idiopathic. The most common causes, and a growing list of less frequent and sometimes very rare and controversial etiologies, are reviewed in this article. A classification on the pathogenic mechanisms of causes of acute pancreatitis based is used in this Review. The approach, or suggested plan of investigations, to determine the etiology of acute pancreatitis, based on the most recently published Guidelines is outlined.
