Abstract

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection can result in liver complications such as acute or chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Although the virus (HBV) has a greater affinity for hepatocytes, extrahepatic manifestations are described in other organs and systems. Acute acalculous cholecystitis and pancreatitis are described as rare presentations of acute HBV infection. In the present paper, we report the case of a patient with acute viral hepatitis B associated with acute cholecystitis and acute pancreatitis. The patient presented a good response to conservative management.
