AbstractComparative study of the clinical features of 125 cases of acute cholangitis revealed that acute obstructive suppurative cholangitis (AOSC, 19 cases) was characterized by leukocytosis, high transaminase levels, bilirubinemia, and a marked thrombocytopenia. Most species of bacilli isolated from the purulent bile were gram‐negative and in 9 of 12

Acute cholangitis remains a life-threatening complication of biliary obstruction, particularly in the elderly with comorbid disease or when there is a delay in diagnosis and treatment. The initial management consists of fluid resuscitation, correction of coagulopathy, and administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics.

Current Treatment Options in Gastroenterology, 1999
Patients with cholangitis require prompt biliary drainage in addition to broad-spec-trum antibiotic therapy. The timing of biliary drainage should depend upon the patient’s clinical condition at presentation, and the response to antibiotics. Definitive biliary drainage can be established via endoscopic or percutaneous modalities in the majority of ...

Primary Biliary Cholangitis and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis
American Journal of Gastroenterology, 2019Cholestatic liver diseases encompass a broad spectrum of pathologies, with the core injury occurring at the level of cholangiocytes and progressing to hepatic fibrosis and liver dysfunction. Primary biliary cholangitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis are the most significant progressive cholangiopathies in adults. Although rare, they commonly evolve
