Once an infection has occurred, it can quickly spread into the blood (blood poisoning) and cause multiple organ failure. If left untreated, infected pancreatic necrosis is almost always fatal. Infected pancreatic necrosis usually develops two to six weeks after the symptoms of acute pancreatitis starts. Symptoms include increased abdominal pain and a high temperature. The infection is treated with injections of antibiotics, and the dead tissue needs to be removed to prevent the infection returning.
The most common sign of this type of pancreatic cancer is jaundice. This is most likely to occur when the cancer is in the head of the pancreas. People with jaundice may have yellow skin, yellow eyes, dark urine, pale stools and an itchy skin. Other symptoms can include nausea and sickness and changes to bowel habit. There may be general abdominal discomfort.
