Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
Acalculous cholecystitis (ACC) as commonly understood, is an inflammation of the gall bladder in the absence of stones. Acute viral hepatitis B though being a systemic infection, predominantly affects the liver but also produces changes in the function, as well as anatomy of the gall bladder. Acute viral hepatitis B presenting as ACC is not common and has been reported only in a few cases. We here report case of a 40yr old female patient who presented with ACC associated with jaundice and was later diagnosed to have acute hepatitis B. She was placed on conservative treatment only and recovered completely in a week’s time.
