Acute Acalculous Cholecystitis Associated with Hepatitis A Viral Infection: A Case Report

Most hepatitis A infections are acute, self-limiting, and asymptomatic. In rare instances, extra hepatic complication, such as acute cholecystitis, may emerge. Acute cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder wall classified into calculus acalculus. About 90–95% cases brought on by bile duct stones. acalculous can be structural functional abnormalities in viral infection. Here we present a 20 years old female patient with associated Gallbladder distention, thickening wall, absence acoustic shadow or biliary sludge, perivesical liquid buildup, dilatation intra- extrahepatic ducts among ultrasonographic criteria for diagnosing cholecystitis. The serology revealed infection positive anti-HAV IgM. Hepatitis testing should considered patients suspected undefined etiology markedly deranged liver function test adult patients.
