RÉSUMÉ
Steroid-induced acute pancreatitis is a rare form of pancreatitis that requires intensive care and has a high morbidity and mortality rate as there is no specific treatment. Management of steroid-induced pancreatitis is generally non-specific and supportive. Here, we are presenting a man in his 40s presented with epigastric pain, fever and vomiting. The patient was diagnosed case of rheumatoid arthritis, for which he was receiving regular 5 mg oral prednisolone therapy. Based on history, and clinical, biochemical and radiological imaging a diagnosis of steroid-induced pancreatitis was made, which was successfully managed with the help of ulinastatin and other supportive treatments. A serine protease inhibitor like ulinastatin may be used early in the clinical management of steroid-induced pancreatitis.
