SEBALLOS, Valentina e SALVATIERRA, Martín. Antibiotic therapy as first step in the step-up approach. Case report. Cir. parag. [online]. 2022, vol.46, n.2, pp.25-26. ISSN 2307-0420. https://doi.org/10.18004/sopaci.2022.agosto.25.
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.
