Fistulas between the biliary and gastrointestinal tract complicate 12% of cases with cholecystitis. Communications of the biliary tract occur with decreasing frequency into the duodenum, colon and stomach. Clinical symptoms of cholecysto-colonic fistulas are chills and temperature elevation
Background: Cryptosporidium enteritis can be devastating in the immunocompromised host. In pediatric liver transplant recipients, infection may be complicated by prolonged carriage of the parasite, rejection, and biliary tree damage and
Liver function tests are elevated in a variety of settings and with a mild elevation, it is difficult to decipher the cause. Typical causes of elevated liver enzymes may range from hepatocellular injury such as hepatitis C, to obstructive causes, such as primary sclerosing cholangitis. Primary
NI-0801 is a fully human monoclonal antibody against chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 10 (CXCL10), which is involved in the recruitment of inflammatory T cells into the liver. The safety and efficacy of NI-0801 was assessed in patients with primary biliary cholangitis. In this open-label phase 2a
We report the case of a patient with obstructive jaundice caused by sclerosing cholangitis secondary to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. In acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-related cholangiopathy, patients present with right upper quadrant or epigastric pain, fever, diarrhea and characteristic
We report case of a peruvian patient with cirrhosis due to primary sclerosing cholangitis, associated with ulcerative colitis. The patient presented initially with intermittent diarrhea, manifesting features of chronic liver failure which progressed rapidly.Primary sclerosing cholangitis is a
OBJECTIVE
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a disease that predominantly affects the biliary tree, although the pancreas may also be affected. A review of the presenting features of all patients given a diagnosis of PSC at a single center was conducted. The aim was to clarify the presentation
BACKGROUND
Cholangitis in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is usually associated with opportunistic infections by cryptosporidium species or cytomegalovirus, but in about a third of cases no opportunistic agent is identified. We suspected some of these cases of biliary
Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) occurs as a result of immune-mediated damage to bile ducts, with an associated inflammatory response leading to progressive fibrosis and loss of patency. This loss of patency leads, in turn, to hepatic accumulation of bile acids, resulting in liver damage with
Cryptosporidium parvum causes severe long-standing diarrhea in immunocompromised patients. Sclerosing cholangitis caused by C. parvum is a rare complication in transplant recipients. We report herein the presentation of Cryptosporidium-associated cholangitis in an adult liver transplant patient
A 39-year-old man presented with diarrhea and abdominal pain. At 26 years of age, he was found to have eosinophilia and abnormal liver function parameters, for which prednisolone therapy was started. He subsequently underwent a liver biopsy and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, and
Enterocytozoon bieneusi is the most common microsporidian parasite found in patients with AIDS. We report the clinical features of a patient with chronic diarrhea, pancreatitis, and AIDS-related sclerosing cholangitis. Ultrasonography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography disclosed
Acalculous cholecystitis and sclerosing cholangitis due to Cryptosporidium sp, and cytomegalovirus have been described in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). However, in about 40% of cases of AIDS-related biliary disease, no opportunistic pathogen is identified. The current
We report a case of acute suppurative cholangitis, from which were isolated Enterobacter aerogenes and Vibrio fluvialis. There have been no previous reports of the isolation of V. fluvialis in this disease. It is usually found in seawater and various seafoods and may cause acute diarrhea, but this
Between 1985 and 2001, seven Japanese patients (four males and three females) were diagnosed as having primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) in our hospital. All seven patients received total colonoscopy with distal ileoscopy. All four male patients were diagnosed as having colitis by colonoscopy,
