Abstract
A 6-year-old boy was admitted to hospital with acute gangrenous cholecystitis requiring emergency cholecystectomy. Examination of the gall-bladder revealed severe inflammation with areas of necrosis and mucosal sloughing; serology confirmed hepatitis A infection. Acute cholecystitis due to hepatitis A infection has very rarely been reported.Entities:
