Imatinib-induced pancreatitis
Varma, Mahesh R.; Mathew, Shibi; Krishnadas, Devadas & Vinayakumar, K. R.
Abstract
Drug-induced pancreatitis is a rare but serious complication of many drugs, some of which have been well documented. Here we present a case of a middle-aged man with chronic myeloid leukemia who developed acute pancreatitis after being initiated on imatinib mesylate. The case history, the pharmacodynamics, uses, and adverse effects of imatinib mesylate are discussed in detail.
Keywords
