Pancreatitis is a condition where pancreatic tissue damage is caused by self-digestion due to various etiologies. It can be seen in multiple causes and is not a contagious disease itself and does not spread. However, when pancreatitis is caused by infectious diseases such as acute epidemic mumps, influenza A infection, Chlamydophila pneumoniae infection, infectious mononucleosis, Coxsackie virus infection, etc., the pancreas can be affected as a target organ resulting in pancreatitis. In such cases, transmission of the primary disease may occur, but pancreatitis is more commonly associated with biliary diseases such as cholelithiasis, biliary infection, alcohol damage, pancreatic duct obstruction (like pancreatic duct stones, ascariasis, stricture, tumors), diseases of the descending part of the duodenum (such as post-bulbar perforation, ulcers, adjacent papillitis of the duodenum, surgical trauma), hyperlipidemia, autoimmune diseases, drug damage, etc., none of which are contagious.
