Abstract

Introduction: The objective of this study is to describe the case report of a patient with infectious pancreatic necrosis who was treated conservatively. Results: Although the first step of the step-up approach is percutaneous drainage, in selected cases, patients could be managed with medical treatment. Conclusion: antibiotic therapy is indicated if the presence of an infection is confirmed. In selected patients, it could be the only treatment. Still, further validation studies are needed.
