Acute pancreatitis is defined as an acute inflammation of the pancreas that may also involve peripancreatic tissues and/or remote organ systems. Although the common causes of acute pancreatitis are gallstones and alcohol consumption, drug-induced cases are also reported frequently. While disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) induced pancreatitis cases were less and rarely reported so the true incidence is unknown, quality of the evidence is limited since the availability of studies is very less. DMARDs are a commonly used in rheumatological conditions. It is a challenge to physicians to diagnose the drug-induced pancreatitis than other causes. In this case report, we describe a 20-year-old male patient who had received dual DMARDs tablets for Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) complicated with acute pancreatitis.
