摘要
Infected pancreatic necrosis is the leading cause of death in patients with severe acute pancreatitis. Early prophylactic antibiotic treatment is effective in preventing conversion of sterile necrosis to pancreatic infection, but its effect on mortality remains unproven. Fungal infections may predict a worse outcome, but no evidence supports the use of antifungal prophylaxis. Because infection of pancreatic necrosis by enteric bacteria can develop despite prophylaxis, a high index of suspicion should allow early detection followed by aggressive management.
