Conservative Treatment of HAV-Associated Acalculous Acute Cholecystitis in an Adult: A Case Report. [PDF]
Case Rep MedHepatitis A virus (HAV) is a viral infection that can present with a wide range of clinical manifestations, including rare complications such as acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC). We present the case of a 31‐year‐old woman who arrived at the emergency department with severe epigastric pain, fever, early satiety, nausea, and vomiting.
