Acute pancreatitis is a pancreatic inflammation that recognises Salmonella typhi among its aetiological agents. In this article the authors describe two cases of acute pancreatitis secondary to typhoid fever, evolving towards complete recovery. These two cases, besides confirming that Salmonella typhi can be responsible for acute pancreatitis, remind us that during typhoid fever, amylase enzyme test should be always assessed. Moreover, salmonella infection must also be considered in cases of non-alcoholic or non-lithiasic pancreatitis.
急性胰腺炎是一种胰腺炎症，其病因包括伤寒杆菌。在本文中，作者描述了两例继发于伤寒热的急性胰腺炎病例，最终完全康复。这两例病例除了证实伤寒杆菌可导致急性胰腺炎外，还提醒我们在伤寒热期间应始终评估淀粉酶检测。此外，在非酒精性或非结石性胰腺炎病例中也必须考虑沙门氏菌感染。
