  • Title: [Sclerosing cholangitis and AIDS].

    Abstract:
    Bile tract pathology in AIDS has been described as an incomplete biliary obstructive syndrome and acalculous cholecystitis. Most reported cases have been associated to bile ducts infection by Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and/or Cryptosporidium. We present a case of sclerosing cholangitis and acalculous cholecystitis in an AIDS patient in whom Cryptosporidium was identified in the cholecystectomy sample and this same agent together with Candida Albicans in bile. We highlight the need to suspect this pathology in HIV infected patients who present a bile obstruction picture and/or cholecystitis, the possible etiological role of Candida Albicans, which has not been previously described, as well as the increasing association of bile pathology and AIDS.
