Patients were divided into two groups\; edematous pancreatitis \(84 patients\) and necrotizing \(19 patients\). Samples of blood from peripheral vein were obtained at 1, 3, 5 and 7th day of hospital stay for assessment of interleukins. Interleukins were assessed by ELISA method using Biosource Europe S.A. kit. The aims of the study were\: to evaluate the changes of interleukin levels in the different etiological forms of pancreatitis \- biliary and post\-alcoholic, to assess which interleukin has the h ighest c orrelation w ith e tiology and severity of the disease, to follow the levels of different interleukins after papillotomy in biliary pancreatitis and to assess whether interleukin\-8 may be a marker of necrosis. Important differences in the level of interleukin\-6 were observed form the first day of hospitalization and during following days between edematous and necrotizing pancreatitis. Similar differences were observed in levels of interleukin\-8 but from 3rd day on and interleukin\-10 in the 1st and 5th day. Important differences between biliary and post\-alcoholic pancratitis were noticed in the levels of interleukin\-2 throughout the study and interleukin\-12 in the 1st and 3rd day. Early papillotomy caused significant decrease mean leve"]
