Even though hepatobiliary ascariasis has been found to cause pancreatitis, it is rare in Qatar and other countries in the Middle East. In this report, we present a case of biliary duct ascariasis causing recurrent pancreatitis. A 46-year-old woman from the Philippines presented with recurrent clinical and biochemical features of acute pancreatitis and was found to have hepatobiliary ascariasis. She was successfully treated with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and antihelminthic medication. Although hepatobiliary ascariasis as a cause of pancreatitis is rare, it should be considered in patients with recurrent pancreatitis without an obvious cause, especially in those from endemic areas or those who have visited endemic areas.
尽管已发现肝胆蛔虫病可导致胰腺炎，但在卡塔尔和中东其他国家这种情况较为罕见。在本报告中，我们介绍了一例由胆管蛔虫病引起复发性胰腺炎的病例。一名来自菲律宾的46岁女性出现急性胰腺炎的反复临床和生化特征，被发现患有肝胆蛔虫病。她通过内镜逆行胰胆管造影术（ERCP）和抗蠕虫药物成功治愈。虽然肝胆蛔虫病作为胰腺炎的病因很罕见，但对于无明显病因的复发性胰腺炎患者，尤其是来自流行地区或去过流行地区的患者，应考虑这一病因。
