Acute Acalculous Cholecystitis in Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 11
Abstract
Malaria is one of the major health problems in India. Gastrointestinal manifestations are quite common in malaria. AAC is a rare manifestation seen in P. Falciparum malaria. We report a case of AAC in P. Falciparum malaria in a 13 year old girl. Acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC) has been described in association with various infectious agents. AAC can be due to bile stasis or gall bladder ischemia. But it remains to be determined whether AAC in P. Falciparum patients is directly related to malaria or to a secondary gallbladder bacterial infection
