A case report of typhoidal acute acalculous cholecystitis.
[typhoid]
Introduction
.
Acalculous
cholecystitis
in
the
setting
of
typhoid
fever
in
adults
is
an
infrequent
clinical
encounter
,
reported
sparsely
in
the
literature
.
In
this
case
report
we
review
the
presentation
and
management
of
enteric
fever
involving
the
biliary
system
and
consider
the
literature
surrounding
this
topic
.
The
aim
of
this
case
report
is
to
alert
clinicians
to
the
potential
diagnosis
of
extraintestinal
complications
in
the
setting
of
typhoid
fever
in
the
returned
traveller
,
requiring
surgical
intervention
.
Presentation
of
Case
.
We
report
the
case
of
a
23
-
year
-old
woman
with
acalculous
cholecystitis
secondary
to
Salmonella
Typhi
.
Discussion
.
There
is
scarce
evidence
surrounding
the
optimal
treatment
and
prognosis
of
typhoidal
acalculous
cholecystitis
.
In
the
current
case
,
surgical
invention
was
favoured
due
to
failure
of
medical
management
.
Conclusion
.
Clinical
judgement
dictated
surgical
intervention
in
this
case
of
typhoidal
acute
acalculous
cholecystitis
,
and
cholecystectomy
was
safely
performed
.
