Acute Acalculous Cholecystitis in Enteric fever: A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Acute acalculous cholecystitis is a very rare complication of typhoid fever, and may be due to multi-drug resistant and virulent forms of Salmonella infection. It is particularly rare in adults. A 27-year-old woman, presenting with fever, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain, was found to have acute acalculous cholecystitis due to typhoid fever on basis of ultrasonographical findings and a positive Widal test for Salmonella typhi. She was treated with Cholecystectomy and made a full recovery.
