ABSTRACT

Drug-induced pancreatitis (DIP) is a rare cause of pancreatitis with an extensive and growing list of offending medications. Drawing a causative relationship between a medication and pancreatitis can be challenging, requiring a thorough workup to exclude other potential etiologies. By using scoring systems to identify DIP, we have identified another case of suspected DIP. In this study, we present a case of pancreatitis 10 days after initiation of dupilumab. An evaluation for other causes was unrevealing. As dupilumab use increases, providers should be aware of this possible adverse effect.
