Acalculous cholecystitis in a patient with Plasmodium falciparum infection after a trip to the Dominican Republic

A Salinas et al. Trop Doct. 2009 Apr.

Abstract

Acalculous cholecystitis has been associated with several infectious agents, but its relation with Plasmodium falciparum infection has not been clearly defined. This is the first case of acalculous cholecystitis produced by Plasmodium falciparum infection that is directly documented and should be included among the differential diagnoses of acalculous cholecystitis.
