Relationship between Pancreatitis and Lung diseases

Acute pancreatitis can cause chemical transformation in human body that affect the lung function, causing the decrease in the percentage of oxygen in your blood to fall to dangerously low levels. With severe pancreatitis there are a lot of provocative chemicals that are secreted into the blood fluid. These chemicals create inflammation throughout the body, including the lungs. Patients with acute pancreatitis may develop acute lung injury, clinically recognized as the adult respiratory distress syndrome. Most patients who die during the early stages of severe acute pancreatitis die because of damage of lungs in the body.

Mycoplasma pneumonia (MP) is a bacterium responsible for acute pneumonia in children the pancreatitis occurred in the 3rd week after the onset of cough damages the respiratory tract entirely.
