Salmonellal acute acalcular cholecystitis complicated by biliary candidal obstruction: an unusual presentation
Surgical Practice, 08/31/2011
Rabie ME et al. – Acute acalcular cholecystitis is a disease which affects mainly the immune compromised and severely ill patients. More often than not, the condition has a subtle presentation, yet it follows an aggressive course. Here authors present a case of acalcular salmonellal cholecystitis which was further complicated by candidal biliary obstruction. Cholecystostomy and biliary irrigation with amphtericin B solution, in addition to systemic antifungal treatment helped to resolve the grave situation.
