Figure 1 Clinical course of case 1. Normal range is shown in [ ]. TG: triglycerides, TC: total cholesterol, HDL-C: high den-sity lipoprotein-cholesterol, S-Amy: salivary amylase, P-Amy: pancreatic amylase, PSTI: pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor, WBC: white blood cell, CRP: C-reactive protein.

Figure 3 Clinical course of case 2. Normal range is shown in [ ]. TG: triglycerides, TC: total cholesterol, HDL-C: high den-sity lipoprotein-cholesterol, S-Amy: salivary amylase, P-Amy: pancreatic amylase, PSTI: pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor, WBC: white blood cell, CRP: C-reactive protein.
