Abstract
Pancreatitis occurs in up to 15% of patients with cystic fibrosis and pancreatic sufficiency, but the possibility of its occurrence in patients with pancreatic insufficiency has not been recognized. We describe a patient with homozygous delta F508 cystic fibrosis and typical symptoms of pancreatic insufficiency (greasy, fatty stools) in whom pancreatitis developed.
