ABSTRACT

80-year-old female, with current illness of involuntary weight loss. An abdominal ultrasound was performed, with an incidental finding of pneumobilia due to a history of cholecystectomy and ERCP. One month later, her general condition was exacerbated, with abdominal pain, diarrheal stools, and fever, so it was decided to admit her to the hospital and perform an abdominal CT scan (two months after the ultrasound). Physical examination revealed dehydration and pain in the right hypochondrium without peritoneal irritation. Leukocytosis and CRP 214.2 mg/L; antibiotic treatment and percutaneous puncture were started. Three days after admission, blood culture was positive for Klebsiella pneumoniae.
