摘要
Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory process with .variable involvement of regional tissue, remote organ systems, or both. Various complications of pancreatitis are common, including intra- or extrapancreatic fluid collections and development of a pancreatic pseudocyst or abscess, or even pancreatic tissue necrosis. Infected necrosis involves diffuse bacterial inflammation of necrotic pancreatic and peripancreatic tissue without significant pus collection. In contrast, a pancreatic abscess is a circumscribed collection of pus, usually in proximity to the pancreas, that is positive for bacteria, bounded by adjacent tissue and organs and has minimal amounts of associated necrosis.
