ABSTRACT
Context Acute pancreatitis is a inflammatory process of the pancreas. It can be caused by gallstones, metabolic disorders, associated or not with alcohol abuse, or medication. Case Report A 38-year-oldman was admitted to the hospital because of worsening of nausea, abdominal pain, dizziness and white stool. Patient was diagnosed with severe acute pancreatitis. After six days of hospitalization, patient progressed into hypotension and severe bradycardia, and died. The patient used simvastatin chronically, and was in treat with L-asparaginase, both drugs related to the occurence of acute pancreatitis separately. Naranjo´s probability scale of adverse drug reaction established the causality between these medications and acute pancreatitis as probable. However, due to the absence of reports of causality, the acute pancreatitis is associated with to the use of L-asparaginase with possible drug interactions with simvastatin.

Conclusion:

It is very important to monitor patients treated with L-asparaginase, throughcareful observation of clinical signs and laboratory follow-up, as well as verification of other medications in use. The AP may have different levels of severity, being indispensable the quick diagnosis and early treatment.
RESUMO

Contexto:

Pancreatite aguda é um processo inflamatório do pâncreas. É causada por cálculos biliares, desordens metabólicas, associadas ou não ao uso abusivo de álcool, ou medicamentos. Relato do Caso Homem de 38 anos foi admitido no hospital em razão do agravamento de náuseas, dor abdominal, tontura e fezes brancas. O paciente foi diagnosticado com pancreatite aguda. Após seis dias de internação, paciente progrediu com hipotensão e bradicardia severa, evoluindo à óbito. O paciente fazia uso crônico de sinvastatina, e estava em tratamento com L-asparaginase, ambos fármacos, de modo separado, são relacionados com a ocorrência de pancreatite aguda severa. O algoritmo de Naranjo para estabelecimento de reação adversa a medicação classificou a causalidade entre as medicações citadas e a pancreatite aguda como provável. Porém, em razão da ausência relatos dessa causalidade, associa-se a pancreatite aguda ao uso de L-asparaginase, com possível interação medicamentosa com sinvastatina.

Conclusão:

É de suma importância o acompanhamento clínico e laboratorial de pacientes em uso de Lasparaginas e para sinais de pancreatite aguda, sendo imprescindível o rápido diagnóstico e tratamento precoce.
