title: [Acute pancreatitis in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis].
abstract: The data on 33 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis who had developed acute pancreatitis due to being treated with antituberculous drugs are analyzed. Emphasis is laid on the fact that all these patients had been treated for pancreatitis or suffered from diseases of the organs adjacent to the pancreas. This category of patients are recommended drugs consequently given from small to routine doses for 3-5 days to prevent the adverse pancreatic effect of antituberculous drugs. If there are signs of pancreatic failure, it is necessary to withdraw chemotherapy temporarily and to initiate pancreatic treatment.
