Severe acute pancreatitis is a disease associated with high mortality, causes of which are multiple organ failure(MOF) in the early course and the development of bacterial infections in the later course. Inflammatory response leading to organ failure continues to be one of the major problem after acute pancreatitis. ⋯ We have to clarify the mechanism of immunological suppression in the development of bacterial infections in severe acute pancreatitis. It is important that the elucidation of key mediators in MOF and the mechanism of immune suppression in the development of bacterial infection could be improved by the prognosis of severe acute pancreatitis.
