ABSTRACT
Retrospective analysis of 99 consecutive cases of acute severe pancreatitis established presence of systemic inflammation in all patients. Magnitude of acute phase response was characterised by C-reactive protein and Interleukin-6 values. Progression to multiple organ failure raised considerably lethality. Failure developed more frequently in respiratory system, liver and kidneys. General mortality was 38,4%.
