One of our consultant paediatricians is considering the diagnosis of
acute pancreatitis in a 5 month old baby who has suddenly developed
acute ascites.The baby has a high CRP and an amylase of 5 (ref range
<100 in adults.).Does anyone have any experience of
amylase/pancreatiitis in infants?
Any ideas greatfully accepted.
