5-ASA induces mild acute pancreatitis: a case report

Objectives There are multiple reports on 5-aminosalicylic induced acute pancreatitis as an adverse reaction. However, in most case reports, rechallenge with the drug was not performed; therefore, evidence is still needed to confirm its role in the clinical course of acute pancreatitis and its influence on the outcome. Here, we report a case of recurrent acute pancreatitis secondary to 5-aminosalicylic acid, on unintentional rechallenge.
