[Bacterial, mycotic and protozoal cholangitis in childhood]. 1983

R Giacchino, and A Fabbri, and A Campelli, and P Dodero

The Authors present the cases of cholangitis in childhood observed in the Institute of Infectious diseases of Genoa from 1973 to 1982. Cholangitis rarely starts by alone, whereas it appears usually in association with hepatic underlying disease. In childhood the symptomatological triad (fever, jaundice, pain) is infrequent: only jaundice is a common sign of disease. Polymicrobial aetiology of cholangitis is very usual, but Streptococci and E. coli are the aetiological agents most frequently observed; sometimes also anaerobic organsimee, fungi and protozoa cause cholangitis.
