The authors report the case of a patient with acute alithiasic cholecystitis associated with viral B hepatitis revealing periarteritis nodosa. Histopathological results showed signs of focal arteritis in the gallbladder and liver. Because of the negativity of the viral DNA in serum and the lack of histopathological necrosis in hepatic specimen, the patient was treated by steroid therapy only with a rapid regression of signs of vasculitis and the disappearance of the hepatitis markers.
