[Complete resolution of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus in a patient with autoimmune pancreatitis following treatment with corticosteroids].
We report here the observation of a 60-year-old man who had an autoimmune pancreatitis revealed by a jaundice, in whom an insulin-treated diabetes mellitus, which was diagnosed one month before, completely resolved after the administration of prednisolone given to treat this symptomatic pancreatitis. Neither the symptoms, nor the diabetes have relapsed after a 3-year follow-up.
