“…Actually, authors reported the blockage of the cystic duct by an enlarged lymph node in one patient only [ 20 ]. Similarly, in the study by Gnassingbé et al, including 6 children with gangrenous or perforated AAC, where the histological features of gallbladder were described, no distal extrinsic compression on the biliary duct was reported [ 21 ].…”

Acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC) is an inflammation of the gallbladder, which does not appear to be associated with the presence of gallstones. AAC is estimated to represent more than 50% of cases of acute cholecystitis in the pediatric population. Although this pathology was initially described in critically ill patients, actually most pediatric cases have been observed during several infectious diseases. Particularly, here we reviewed pediatric infectious acute acalculous cholecystitis and analyzed the pathophysiological and clinical aspects of bacterial and viral forms.

A colecistite aguda alitiásica define-se como a inflamação aguda da vesícula biliar na ausência de cálculos. Em pediatria representa a principal patologia aguda da vesícula biliar. Anteriormente associada a casos de mau prognóstico e de doença sistémica grave, são cada vez mais os casos de colecistite aguda alitiásica em crianças previamente saudáveis, com patologia infeciosa. A associação com Salmonella enteritidis é pouco frequente. Apresenta-se o caso clínico de um rapaz de 7 anos internado por desidratação no contexto de gastroenterite por Salmonella enteritidis, complicada por colecistite aguda alitiásica. Evoluiu bem após antibioterapia endovenosa, sem necessidade de intervenção cirúrgica. O tropismo da Salmonella pela vesícula biliar é um assunto pouco esclarecido, pelo que é revista resumidamente a literatura mais recente.Palavras-chave: Colecistite Acalculosa; Criança; Infeções por Salmonella; Salmonella enteritidis AbstractAcute acalculous cholecystitis is defined as acute inflammation of the gallbladder in the absence of gallstones. In paediatrics it is the main acute pathology of the gallbladder. Initially described in critically ill patients, nowadays most cases are observed in previously healthy children secondary to infections. Association with Salmonella enteritidis infection is rare. The authors report the case of a 7-year-old boy admitted to hospital due to dehydration in the context of Salmonella enteritidis gastroenteritis, complicated by acute acalculous cholecystitis. After intravenous antibiotic therapy, laboratory parameters normalized and the patient's clinical course was favourable without the need for surgical treatment. Tropism of Salmonella for the gallbladder is well-known but not well understood; here we review the most recent literature on the subject.

“…reported and its pathogenesis is not clear. [5][6][7] It has been postulated that the streptococcus enters the gall bladder through the mucous mem brane of the stomach by way of lymphatic channel producing toxin and lymphocytic infiltration responsible for the lesion in the gallbladder as well in the liver. [8] Patients with acute cholecystitis due to scarlet fever usually present with fever, right upper abdominal pain, vomiting and jaundice.…”
