Pancreatitis
Pancreatitis is a life-threatening condition that affects the pancreas, a vital gland responsible for producing hormones and digestive enzymes. It is characterized by intense abdominal pain, vomiting, and a low-grade fever. The exact cause of pancreatitis is not always known, but it can be triggered by certain foods, medications, or infections. One of the most common causes of pancreatitis is the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, which can be found in most people with chronic pancreatitis. Other possible causes include viruses, such as the flu or herpes, and certain medications, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or lithium. Symptoms of pancreatitis can vary from person to person, but if left untreated, it can lead to severe complications such as sepsis, infection, or death. Therefore, it is essential to seek medical attention immediately if you experience any symptoms of pancreatitis, such as abdominal pain, vomiting, or low-grade fever.
