Özet
Interferons (IFNs) are immunomodulatory and antiviral agents used in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B and C. Development of acute pancreatitis is a very rare complication seen during IFN (pegylated or standard) treatment in chronic viral hepatitis. In this report, we present a 50-year-old patient with chronic renal insufficiency and chronic hepatitis B who developed acute pancreatitis during treatment with peg-IFN alpha-2a.
